"
Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety" (
Proverbs 11:14).
Given the profound truth of this verse, I have asked myself the question, “
what are the implications for God’s body of believers today, and how are we able to realize this wonderful place of safety and victory for our generation?”
Could it be that informal gatherings face to face, as well as online forums such as this one, are platforms that enable groups, and more specifically Christian groups, to achieve this truth? I have to think that technologies that link peers together, particularly the ones which provide individuals an opportunity to express themselves in the “
marketplace of ideas,” are reshaping the religious terrain with terrific force, and the momentum seems to be quickening.
A question for each of you, (lurkers, occasional posters, and frequent posters): Are your religious beliefs and opinions more influenced by the conscience and the voice of one man, the man who holds the microphone as I like to call it, or “
the conscience of the court,” meaning, the counsel of the community?
