What Can the Righteous Do?: Courageous Living in a Godless Culture

by Paul Chappell

What can the righteous do? is not just a call to action; it is a source of hope and strength for every believer.In the summer of 64 AD, Rome was set ablaze. The fire raged for days and left a destroyed city in its wake. Nero, accused by some of setting the fire, made Christians his scapegoat. He blamed them and began to brutally persecute them. What was a Christian to do under this type of oppression?


King David, fleeing for his life from King Saul, was asked a similar “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3).


Christians today find themselves asking the same question. In a world where moral foundations are crumbling and any semblance of Judeo‑Christian values are unraveling, Christians often find themselves questioning how to respond. After all, what can the righteous do?


In this powerful and timely book, Paul Chappell offers clear, biblical answers to this urgent question. Each chapter provides scriptural insights and practical steps to help Christians live courageously and impact their world for Christ.

So needed in these days

Great balance for the believer. We must put God first and be active in our local community and nation. It is necessary for a Christian to be salt and light in the politics of our day. It is needed now more than any time in recent history.
