Quote Reflection #3: Wendell Phillips (1811-1884)






"One on God's side is a majority"- Wendell Phillips.







Such a simple, yet profound statement. How many of us determine our actions or non-actions based on what the majority of people think or believe?

Sometimes, to do or say what is RIGHT by God, one has to go against the opinion of the "majority."

The majority is not always right, it is simply the majority... It matters not if it is two people or if it is two million people who are wrong. Wrong is wrong.

Standing up for what is right or just will undoubtedly mean that sometimes, we will stand alone.

However, how could you ever be alone with God on your side?

One on God's side is TRULY a majority.

You + God > (is greater than) the majority
