Grasshoppers or Giants

The majority often loses even when they win. 

For example, in Numbers 13:17-22, the ten-to-two majority decided they were grasshoppers. They won the decision but lost the Promised Land. See Grasshopper Faith.

On rare occasions, the majority wins even when they lose. 

For example, in 1 Samuel 17, a whole army doubted a single shepherd boy who won the battle for them. See Don't Listen to Doubters.

Majorities aren't always wrong and minorities aren't always right. It depends on Who they side with.

We face some powerfully wrong majorities in our world today. They are telling us that people are created androgynous, ungodly lifestyles are healthy, personal happiness is our highest goal, and unborn life is worthless. They believe the Bible is irrelevant and holiness is old-fashioned. They believe it's loving to honor sin and hateful to oppose it or even explain it!(1)

Dear Christians, let's take our cues from Joshua, Caleb, and the shepherd boy David and never forget this wonderful truth: 

"They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." Revelation 17:14

(1) Feb. 2021: The Daily Citizen, a ministry of Focus on the Family, was locked out of Twitter for describing Dr. Levine, Biden's newly appointed Asst. Health and Human Services Secretary, as “a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman” (source). Twitter informed them that this was "hateful conduct," and when the Daily Citizen appealed, asking how to acceptably describe Dr. Levine, Twitter rejected their appeal without offering an approved description. See What the Bible Teaches About Transgender and A Letter from a Reader. We are facing difficult times, and Christians must be shrewd, but innocent (Matthew 10:16). No matter the majority, we must remember we are "His called, chosen and faithful followers."
