MLK Day reflection: engaging culture instead of staying silent

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a host reads from two books that converged in his mind. From Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand, founder of Voice of the Martyrs: communists ended those who removed themselves from reality, and the church cannot preach a 'pure gospel' detached from circumstances. From King's Letter from Birmingham Jail: 'We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.' The hosts discuss the risk of backing off too far, the false sense of security in the West, persecution under communism and ISIS, and how Daniel was faithful wherever God placed him, politics included.
