Chris Smith Quotes
When political leaders fail to denounce anti-Semitic violence and slurs, the void is not only demoralizing to the victims, but silence actually enables the wrongdoing. Silence by elected officials in particular conveys approval - or at least acquiescence - and can contribute to a climate of fear and a sense of vulnerability.

If you’re living under the weight of guilt, of shame, of condemnation, you’re not flourishing. You’re not ruling and reigning. Scripture tells us the righteous can reign in life. You can rule and have dominion, but if you’re living in shame, you’re not ruling, but instead being ruled. Instead of having dominion, you’re being dominated—dominated by things that have no power or value in your life whatsoever. You can live thinking that you owe it to yourself to feel bad about things that have gone on before. And I’m not saying you should ever take your past sins lightly. What I am saying is that there’s real hope in Jesus. Your focus should be on following Christ, not on looking over your shoulder and regretting what you can’t change. Shame is a prison, but the door to your cell is open. Jesus calls you to follow him in the freedom of grace.
