"Useful Idiots" and Those Who Use Them
Series Life of David
191
Lenin praised the “useful idiots” who unknowingly helped his cause in spite of their political oppositionto him. Israel suffered setbacks in their liberties through their own useful idiots, the well-meaning Ziphites who blindly supported Saul because of his stance on the Philistines. Their blind loyalty and patriotism kept them from realizing that Saul had become a centralist, that their support of him was eroding their liberties, and that David—the opponent of their hero—was now the true defender of liberty. How do we know when our own well-meaning activism is unwittingly helping the wrong side? This sermon covers multiple principles for checking the actual usefulness of your activism.
