Dear Friends:
A Marine we know once described what he called “moral courage” and “physical courage.” The latter has to do with terrain bravery, a kind of sacrificial control that causes a infantryman to tumble on a grenade, conflict an confirmed position, or risk his life to save a friend.
Moral aplomb is about holding a mount for law and demur regardless of a domestic or personal consequences. Christians should arrangement this kind of aplomb with affability and winsomeness, though with undeniable firmness.
This week during FRC, Dr. Owen Strachan spoke movingly of a need for a merciful though awkward Christian testimony in a enlightenment (“The Sacrificial Witness of a Christian Moral Tradition“). Watch and listen to his roughly 30-minute remarks; there will be few ways of investing your time some-more wisely as we pull nearby to a pivotal elections.
“Courage is righteously deliberate a inaugural of a virtues,” Winston Churchill is quoted as saying, “for on it, all others depend.” At a time of dignified predicament in a nation and a world, there are few qualities we need more.
Sincerely,
Rob Schwarzwalder
Senior Vice-President
Family Research Council
P.S. For an refurbish on a latest authorised developments in a sharpened that took place during FRC in August, review our new press release. We continue to regard God for a dignified and earthy aplomb of a unusual colleague, Leo Johnson, and are beholden for his ongoing recuperation.
