The great evangelical preacher Charles Finney once warned that if the press loses its moral compass, the pulpit must bear the weight of that failure. If the Church becomes worldly and spiritually stagnant, the pulpit stands accountable. When society loses its hunger for faith, and the sacred is replaced by the secular, the pulpit must answer for the silence. If corruption reigns in our legislative halls, and justice erodes at its foundations, the pulpit must confess its abdication. When politics become a shadow of integrity and governance crumbles under immorality, it is the pulpit—not the politicians—that has failed to uphold truth.
The Church is entrusted with the moral framework upon which a just society should be built. Truth is our cornerstone. If we, as believers, neglect this sacred duty—if we fail to live righteously and teach boldly—then society itself begins to fracture. The blame cannot be outsourced; it rests squarely with us.Today’s world leans increasingly toward secularism. Why? Because Christians have retreated from their cultural and civic responsibilities. By relinquishing its influence, the Church has allowed the world to craft its worldview in the absence of God.
