Esther 4:14

For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish (since you did not help when you had the chance).  And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this (and for this very purpose)?

Purpose.  Our lives have a purpose, just like Esther’s did.  Our purpose may be for something different, but God never said we are to be silent Christians, not speaking up when the times call for it.  As Christians, we are to be salt for the world.  We are to speak for and stand up for the word of God.  We are the lamp in the darkness bringing the words of Jesus to the world.
