What did Les say would happen if Christians were as energetic as Communists?
If Christians were as adamant and as energetic as the Communists were when Communism was taking over the world, believers would have made an impact. Communists went to party headquarters after work and gave the rest of their day to enhance Communism, while many Christians, by contrast, remain seated and blasé.
Les explains that he has often said down through the years that if Christians were as adamant and as energetic as the Communists were when Communism was taking over the world, we would have made an impact. He illustrates this by noting that when a Communist got off work, he went to party headquarters and would give the rest of his day to the party to enhance Communism. But Christians, he says, are sitting on their seat, and most are just blasé. He says he does not believe in a militaristic Christianity, and he knows we cannot force these things on people, but most Christians today could care less about their neighbor. He supposes he is as guilty as anybody. Yet the gospel is the only gospel, and it is up to us to let the world know what it is.
