Do pastors have a moral and scriptural obligation, and mandate to speak out against any and every type of wrong doing, regardless of position and power of the perceived perpetrator?
Ye are the salt of the earth, Jesus said. As Christians we have a vital and key role to play in the godly influence of a nation.
Read again the words below attributed to Martin Niemöller a German pastor and theologian (1892–1984):
"First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me."
