Something odd for 2021 happened in Michigan:

As a fair ride came off its hinges, a man rushed in - despite a possible threat to his own life - and grabbed the rail to balance the ride. Then two more. Then many.

It takes one man to stand with courage. Others will follow.

(2) In the same way, there were only a few that were willing to stand against the coming tsunami wave of social justice in the early days. I covered this in a recent podcast.

It is good that others are "coming to the rail."

(3) But it is wise to provide context for those declaring themselves "courageous" while rushing "to the rail".

Why? Because we must remember the who, what, why and how legacy ministries, seminaries and celebrity level Christians allowed this disaster to happen.

(4) It happened on their watch. It happened with men in their ranks. And it is still happening -- with men embedded in their organizations.

And instead of saying nothing until "discernment bloggers" and a businessman force the issue and clear the minefield...

(5) The conservative, reformed, apologetics community and reformed evangelicalism was both asleep - and when awakened to the issues - afraid to take the issues on with strength for nearly 3 years.

And many "revolutionary-minded" men are still working in their midst.

(6) It is time to hold the rail, stabilize the wild ride we have been on, and dismiss those that set-up this rickety carnival ride, dismiss those with their hands at the controls, and unload those that took us on this wild and dangerous ride.
