I hear people talking, a little bit more than they did before, about how important it is to stand for truth, justice, and the American way. And I certainly don’t disagree. But I wonder how many are willing to do that if/when they’ll have to lose a lot.
Because, when you stand for truth, there WILL be losses.
Friends. Family members. Wealth and/or the potential for wealth. Goods and services. And even your “good name.” Yeah, those who hate Truth don’t care about your reputation. Or your worldview. Or how much you wanna help keep them out of hell.
They just want you to shut up. Toe the line. Quo the status.
But the majority of “they” don’t care where their soul will reside. And they don’t care that wherever that is it will be forever. They only want you to shut up, sit down, and stay silent.
I’m not gonna do that. And I’ve been trying to get people to understand the consequences of shutting up, sitting down, and staying silent for over 50 years. FYI: all those years and no profanity or vulgarity.
I debated the stupidity of evolution when I was in high school.
And I wrote articles against idiotic laws and loss of freedoms when I was in college.
And I’ve written thousands of articles and placed them on the internet for a couple of decades.
Plus, I’ve been able to stand for truth, and the horror of abortion, with my friends and Christian brothers and sisters on numerous occasions. I’ve even written songs about standing for Truth. Matter of fact, I’ll stop tooting my own horn, now, and share the lyrics to one of them.
Take A Stand
If you take a stand and you stand for the Way,
You might never be rich.
But no gold here beats the treasure in Heaven,
And you’ll know which is which.
Angels are gonna rejoice,
And we’re gonna get to see how
The Lord will judge the ones who wait.
So better take a stand right now.
If you take a stand and you stand for the Truth,
You could lose a good friend.
But if you lose the whole wide world
And keep your soul, you win in the end.
All eyes are gonna look up.
All knees are gonna bow,
And when that time comes it’s too late.
You gotta take a stand right now.
If you take a stand and you stand for Life,
People might laugh and make fun.
And Jesus didn’t say it was gonna be easy,
But you’ll be with Him when this life is done.
No more livin’ like this;
By the sweat of your brow,
And if you want God’s paradise,
You better take a stand right now.
