Re: Evil Triumphs When Good People Do Nothing
tv1a,
I agree with MOW here. The biblical guideline is to return good for evil. Do you really believe that "these people" can tear down what God has built? You do not need to defend God. He can do it, and is much more capable than you are.
I was once in the position of being attacked, and I kept my mouth shut. I didn't breathe a word to my fellow saints, or even to my friends. Vicious lies, and attacks against me from the pulpit. And I didn't even let my lip quiver or say one word against the pastor or the other people who participated. 8 years later, the truth came out in a way that not only exonerated me, but shamed every person who ever said a word against me. God took care of it. Not in the time frame I would have liked, but in a much better way than I could have done.
And the great thing is, God has my heart at a place, that when my enemy "fell", I didn't rejoice over it. But I do appreciate God taking up my cause, and trust Him to do it again, if need be.
I recommend taking the blog down, writing every name on it on a prayer list, and asking God to bless every person on the list every morning. And if you can't say it sincerely, pray until you can.
It is not our job to fight these kinds of battles, except on our knees.
