Take Your Stand

society has fallen prey to the status quo unwilling to stand up for the God we all love and know more concerned with being acceptable in the eyes of man afraid to step out, to blaze a trail or even to take a stand looking for approval from any and everyone searching for commendations until the day is done but a true Christian, a child of God can always discern to stand up for God no matter how hot the fires will burn and hope that those who worship false idols will one day see that to fall under the devil's influence will lead to purgatory don't ever let go of what you truly believe in life take your stand and hold firm to the principles of the Lord Christ be willing to stand boldly and tell society to it's face that you wholly trust in the one true God who is full of mercy and grace for greater is the God that is in me greater than anything that man could ever be take your stand in life and be true to your beliefs don't fall for society's ways of ease and relief don't hang with crowds for they'll slow you up or hurry you along stand alone in the righteousness of God knowing right from wrong tell that group of so-called friends you don't have time for pettiness as you're too busy listening to God and keeping His holiness fear not said the Lord, it's time to stand and fight don't worry about the enemy for his dark can't diminish God's light the enemy may huff and he may puff but he can't blow your foundation down for you are standing on the word of God and are now on higher ground for the devil is a liar and like a hooker always on the stroll so be anxious over nothing as Father God is in control to be like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to refuse to bow down to a graven image with a golden glow take your stand, hold to God's hands and let the whole world see that you won't accept any and all types of immorality take your stand, stick up for Christ and tell the so-called powers that be that you will only kneel down in the face of the Lord God's authority take your stand, keep the faith, trust in God and have no fear for He's in complete control and will always be there

the pews and platforms are full,yet the congregations are still blinded by a different light...thousands of years of progress,but what has really changed...the message continues to circulate thru timeless space,in hopes for all to one day truly love,and rid the world of lustful views......peace , jay
