If You Don’t Stand Up For Yourself No One Will

Recently a friend of mine updated her blog and started it with something like this, “I’m writing in my blog…is that even a thing anymore?”

I will admit, I’m slow to follow the crowd. I waited until people didn’t really read blogs anymore to start mine. I waited until the craze of YouTube died down to start my own channel…you name it…I probably waited too long.

In thinking about my weaknesses—I think I wait too long to stand up and speak out as well. I don’t like being attacked…I don’t like arguing (I’m bad at it..I could never be a debater because I don’t make my arguments well.) I don’t have confidence in the way I read the facts, so I hang back until I think I understand them. So I keep quiet.

How many of you are like me? We just want to get along. We want to show the love of God, even now, as we see the attack on Christianity growing stronger and the number of Christians speaking against the evils of the world growing smaller.

The power of evil. The power of hate.

It’s frightening.

Here is the truth: If we don’t stand up for ourselves no one will.

You might not agree with every Christian with every stance they make, but I hope you will applaud their right to do so.

Watch our video below…it is sad to see how many hate comments have followed Chad as he took this stand.
What do you think?

Until next time-this is just me-talking to you-from the wings,
