The idol in your backyard will destroy you sooner than the idol in your neighbor's yard.
Put more bluntly, there's no point in preaching against idols you don't worship. There's a whole lot of reason to preach against the ones you do.
This is why whataboutism is so pointless. Not only is it LAZY, it misses the reality that different groups have different idols & need to have their specific idols toppled.
Faithful witness means knowing the temptations & idols of your audience or group. It means loving them well enough to walk w/ them & tell them the truth.
I'm not talking about hashtag activism or building brand on being a "truthteller." I'm talking about faithfully speaking the whole counsel of God, including where we're getting it wrong.
