In his new book Hope for This Present Crisis, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly confronts the problem of the government's denial of the people's First Amendment right of "the free exercise of religion" during the recent pandemic, the misapplication of the right "peaceably to assemble" by unlawful protesters, and the misinterpretation of the right of freedom of the press to allow for suppressing the truth.
His solution to this many-faceted problem related to the First Amendment involves the following steps, among others:
- Know your rights. An excellent place to start is with the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Learn about the history of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Make sure you clearly understand your rights and that you know what the Constitution does and does not protect.
- Defend the rights of others. If you see that someone has been unfairly attacked or silenced, speak up for that person. Speak out against injustice.
- Pray for boldness—and discernment. There is a time to speak out and a time to hold your peace. If you feel God calling you to speak boldly in defense of His truth, pray for courage and wisdom. Then speak the words He gives you to speak.
- Pray for young Christians in the media. If you are a parent, teacher, youth leader, or pastor, and you know young people who are in media, be an influential mentor to them. Cover them in prayer—they’ll need it. Support them as they seek to become salt and light in an increasingly dark and corrosive industry.
