A boycott, after all, is a display of power, particularly of economic power. We seek to hurt a company by depriving it of revenue. It is a contest of who has the more buying power, and therefore who is of more value to the company. And it assumes that the “rightness” of a position is constituted by a majority with power. But isn’t that precisely what the church is to be a sign to speak against? Isn’t this the “Gentile” view of power that our Lord warned us against (Luke 22:25)?
