Standing up for God, is standing up against sin Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants. - Benjamin Franklin Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesnt mean politics wont take an interest in you. ~ Pericles (430 B.C.) 2 Chronicles 7:14 IF My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Joel 1:14 “...Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.” Psalm 127:1b Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

Albert Einstein “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. – Martin Luther King “When principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, that battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your conviction bare before friend and enemy, with all the fire of your faith.” ~ Abraham Kuyper (1837–1920), theologian, statesman, journalist, and Prime Minister of the Netherlands (1901–1905) None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free... ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) Galatians 5:1 says, Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
