When is it A Time To Stand?

[twyacht]

 I have been reading and learning as much as I can regarding this countries future and direction prior to the Pres. election. They come from all the resources and historical references I can find.  Is there a  good answer?,.. NOT REALLY.

  Thanks to tombogan, who reminds me to not be too pessimistic, I seek out avenues of thought that might help to make sense of it all. For those on this forum who prayed for a members dog that needed help, (including me), We saw the power of a "little" prayer, and Thank God for the outcome.

Can the same be done for this nation? I don't know.

I ran across an interesting post and thought I would post it here for those interested.

It's written by a ghost writer: A. Citizen.
With everything else going on in our country, remembering our Founding Fathers, still rings true today, and the Christian nature of our heritage should never be forgotten.

The SCOTUS, in 1892 ruled: "No purpose of action against religion can be imputed to any legislation because this is a religious people,..This is a Christian nation."

The time to stand is every day, every second of every day.

Every time someone tries to push only one half of the freedom of religion clause of the 1st Amendment.

Every time someone tries to invent rights that do not exist while denying rights that are clearly enumerated.

Every time a government official (or some smarmy business type) tries to compel you to do things that are wrong, especially with the lame ass excuse "Just doing my job".

Be positive, be pessimistic, but BE in the moment, and do not waver.

That is when it is time to stand up.

Twyacht ... Thank you for sharing this!  When it comes that time to take a stand, people like you will know when and why. 

Pathfinder ... Your reply was perfect.

I don't want to push my religious views upon anyone else, however, from the tone of your post, I think you should check out Perry Stone.  I don't have a website, url, whatever, to give you, but if you Google his name I'm sure you'll find him.  He has some very interesting things to say, not only about the power of prayer, but the political climate in this country and the ramifications thereof.

Agreed.

There is a time to take a stand.  There is a time to allow social processes to run their course.  There is a time to take arms.  Historically, they are different times.

Some one, I forget who, said, "A man who won't take a stand for something, will stand for anything."

If more people of this great country could be like the guys and girls on this forum this would be a better place to live. I find myself spending more and more time on this forum for the things I learn and to hear from decent people that still believe this country and our freedom are still worth fighting for.

Isn't that the name of Star Jones' book? I believe that it was originally in a country song by Aaron Tippin.

It's much older than that.

I definitely didn't want Star Jones to get the credit. It sounds kind of like something that Ben Franklin would have said.
