Amen brother David Platt! Amen! - yes often and sadly strangely quiet . . . "On one hand my heart is encouraged, particularly among younger evangelicals, I sense opposition to injustice regarding the poor and the orphan and the enslaved, and I am grateful to God for increased awareness of issues like starvation and sex trafficking in the world. And I'm zealous to see the power of the Gospel in the lives of Christians fueling long term commitments to address these issues . . .... At the same time I'm concerned by the lack of zeal, again particularly . . . among younger evangelicals on social issues that are just as, if not much more important, like abortion or sexual immorality or so called same-sex marriage. On these issues younger evangelical Christians and prominent Christian leaders are often strangely quiet. We're passionate in our stand against poverty and slavery - injustice that we should stand against. But issues that don't bring us really into conflict with the culture around us. But on issues like abortion or so called same-sex marriage - issues that are much more contentious in the culture around us, instead of being passionate, we are passive. And our supposed social justice can quickly seem a lot more like a selective social injustice. And I'm zealous to show that followers of Christ do not have the option of picking and choosing which social issues we're going to apply Biblical truth to. I am zealous to show that the same Gospel that compels us to combat poverty is the exact same Gospel that compels us to defend marriage."
