Truth with Opposition?

Introduction

Many of you have likely heard the term “cancel culture.” In essence, cancel culture is a term that refers to a culture in which those who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceeptable manner are boycoytted and shunned. Boy, is this prevelant in our day.

Twin brothers David and Jason Benham were five weeks into filming their reality TV show when HGTV decided to pull the plug on the house flipping series. A liberal watchdog website said the brothers had spoken out in favor of traditional marriage and that their father was a pro-life activist. There was a social media campaign to pressure HGTV to cancel the show, and it worked. The brothers refused to give in to the pressures of wicked men by responding, “If our faith costs us a television show then so be it.”

Courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to push on in the face of it.
