\nRecently, I've been hearing much of John MacArthur's Podcasts on submission to civil authority.\n<\/p>\n
\nI agree.\n<\/p>\n
\nBut somehow, MacArthur sounded to me as if one should not actively voice against such things (as if it's protesting) in public (including among non-believers). If that is so, then I would have a question mark on it.\n<\/p>\n
\nAnd now I came across a great statement<\/a> by one of John Piper's mentor, Paul Jewett:\n<\/p>\n \n"he who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.<\/em><\/strong>"\n<\/p>\n \nOf Course, John Calvin already had a similar statement about the so called "neutral" or third party.\n<\/p>\n \nI myself abhor such party more than either of the opposing two parties, unless the reason for not having a side is due to lack of knowledge and keeping a shut mouth. Otherwise, the more they feel they are the best group, the worst kind of the 3 they really are.\n<\/p>\n \nOn the side note, in that same article, I, as always, have a profound love for John Piper's mother's character. Those who stood for others against all odds for selfless reasons.\n<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recently, I've been hearing much of John MacArthur's Podcasts on submission to civil authority.
