"Threats to Christianity, Part 2: The Danger of Opinions"

Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but delight in airing their opinions. Proverbs 18:2 said it 2,000 years ago. Social media continues to prove it. In Part 2 of the Threats to Christianity series, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow address a threat that is not coming from the outside. It is coming from within—what Christians are doing to Christianity themselves. Opinions. Everyone has them. Christians share them freely—about the WNBA, about politics, about the Bible—often without having read it. And in doing so, the testimony of Christ is damaged, the uniform of Christ is dishonored, and the enemy scores a victory without firing a single shot. The military has a term for it: "combat ineffective." A unit that can no longer fight. That can no longer do its job. The devil does not need to silence Christians. He just needs to get them talking—loudly, wrongly, and without Scripture. Make sure your words are not working against the very faith you claim to represent.
