What do you think about when I say “Freedom of speech, Expression, Freedom of Choice, Prayer in schools”? Does it stir you? Does it move you? Does it make you feel anything at all, or have you let the world that we live in make you so desensitized that when you hear about the fight for prayer in schools or any other related topic that you wish those “big mouthed radical Christians that just can’t leave well enough alone” would shut up and stop troubling the waters? I’m sorry but we can not be silent just to allow apathetic Christians to sit in the middle of their box shaped comfort-zone for in the mist of doing nothing they have inadvertently done something. They have chosen the easy way out, the convenient way, a way in which underdeveloped, malnourished, emaciated, dysfunctional Christians who crumble in the mist of the smallest amount of adversity are developed.

     Smith Wigglesworth once said: “Great faith is the product of great fights. Great testimonies are the outcome of great tests. Great triumphs can only come out of great trials.” What disturbs me is that we as Christians have always talked a good talk. We stand up and quote all the right scriptures and say all the right things yet, when it comes to doing anything we always have excuses. It says in James don’t just hear the word but be doers of the word, and Faith without works is dead. No longer can we just talk, we have to back up our words with action.

     Why do the Christians who are actually doing something always catch flak for doing something? As far as I can see, it is because lazy apathetic Christians who procrastinate have great ideas but have no drive to carry out the dreams and visions that God has given to them. And, when someone else is out there and actually doing what it is that they were called to do (even though they may not be as talented), they become jealous and angry. All I have to say, is at least they are doing something.

     While others sit around and talk about people and what they are doing, there is a group of God’s people who choose to shake a nation. It stirs me to see the courage of so many young people. The teenagers of Columbine high school and Fort Worth. To know that in the face of death their faith stood strong. It’s unfathomable that there could be a 20th century martyr in the U.S. Who would have thought it possible? A Holy anger comes over me to think that a remnant of young people will die for Christ. Yet, at the same time we can’t even get three or four churches to support any one thing.

     God forbid the non-denominational do anything to help the Baptist, or the Methodist help the Episcopal. It’s pitiful, no-one wants to help anyone unless they get the credit. When are we going to wake up and realize that if God is in it no one will get the credit except God. There are lost people whose ears are closed (they have heard enough) and their eyes are opened as they watch to see what you and I will do. Even when you have done nothing, you have in fact done something. A wise man once said, “All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”

     My prayer is that I motivate you to do something. Who cares if you mess up, God knows your heart. He will lead you and guide you in all that you do. But first you have to do something. This month STAND 318 is going to step out on the water and do something that might seem stupid and pointless, and it might just be. However, myself and a group of others are willing to take that risk and do something, lest we do nothing. We are getting as many Christians as possible to go to local high school football games and before the games stand up and say the Lord’s prayer. We are fighting against the devil himself who uses the Left-winged Liberalist and apathetic (so called Christians) who have taken prayer out of are schools and football games. Christians (as a majority) have sat back and done absolutely nothing for long enough.. So here is our chance to take a STAND and say that “enough is enough.”

     It’s time for a revolution. It’s time for the body of Christ to link up together no matter our religious affiliations and doctrines and take back our school, our families and our nation. However, the only way we will do this is to do something. We have to start somewhere, one day at a time, one event at a time.

     See You At The Pole was an incredible place to start but please don’t let it be just a once a year thing. I believe it has started a wave of momentum that if we as Christians take advantage of it will start a wild fire in south-east Texas. It starts this month, every Friday night we will be going to a local high school football game near you. So please help us support what God is doing in our young people.

(Look on the STAND calendar to see which Friday night we will be at your school.)
