An illustration from the New Testament
of the callout culture, the outrage
culture, the canceling culture, the
shaming culture because it's right there
in Acts chapter 5. The Jewish Sanhedrin
is trying to silence, silence. You claim
that Jesus is the Christ we want you
silenced. So they what do they do? I'll
read it to you
this is verses 40 and 41 of Acts 5 they
beat them they beat them and charged
them not to speak in the name of Jesus
and let them go. Listen to this how are you
gonna do on this?
They left the presence of the council
rejoicing that they were counted worthy
to suffer dishonor for the name. That's
serious joy setting them free because
what they do the next day? I love radical
Christians. They did not cease teaching
and preaching that Jesus is the Christ.
Free, free, free! How? They went out
rejoicing that they were shamed. Come on
come on we're not gonna play games like
this we're not gonna say oh they shamed
me oh they say me I'm gonna sue them
wah wah wah wah wah.
Come on Christians we're not playing this
cultural game. We are free people.
We're not controlled by shaming. We're
not controlled by being called out.
We're not controlled by being cancelled.
Cancel me make my day! Jesus has an open
door no cancellation no condemnation.
Come on we're not going to be copycats
of this culture.
