To turn a deaf ear, and walk away is the solution that keeps you from participating in the evil, but it does nothing to stop the evil. Peck would say that you participate in the lie if you refuse to stop it. So stop it. The armor of truth will stop the lie in its tracks. Until the next time.
Evil is everywhere.
When the enemy is so omni-present, the Christian must be ready at all times and in all places, to resist the evil wherever we find it. We are called to both a defensive faith, where we subvert an attack made to God's ways, and we are called to an offensive faith. Let's talk about the offensive for the moment. Yankees, as much and perhaps more than many, hate to be offensive. Our regional culture teaches us to avoid offending someone else at all costs.
