NEVER give in

Never give in On October 29, 1941, a year after one of  the darkest hours of World War II for  Great Britain, Prime Minister Winston  Churchill addressed his alma mater  Harrow School. Here emerged one of the most famous  quotes (which oft has been misquoted):  "Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never,  never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty-never  give in, except to convictions of honor and good  sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the  apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." This quote will hopefully embolden you, encourage  you, strengthen you as it did to Brits and their allies  as they fought one of the gravest evils to darken the  steps of mankind. We have a similar fight ahead. We are repeatedly instructed by God's  word to overcome evil with good. There is so much evil in our society and  around the world. Much of what we read, see and hear seems to be surreal  in that it is glorifying the evil and calling the good evil. My  wife and I were watching a television program the other  night and just the advertisements coming on the screen  were so dark. They depict crime, murder, horror, death,  destruction, sex, homosexuality, infidelity, rebellion,  covetousness, and worse. We remarked to each other  almost at the same time how dark prime time television  has become. Much of these things are glorified through  some sort of twisted sense of justice or even humor. There is a moral war that is being  conducted against that which is good. It has its roots in Satan. But Satan has no power unless  people give him legal entry--which much of society has.  We need to guard our hearts. We need to protect our  families. We need to stand in the gap  as examples and  not yield to this 21st Century brand of morality. When  these examples of evil come before us, we should point  them out. Use them to educate others about discernment  and right thinking. We need to be proactive with ourselves  to ensure that our minds, are focused on the good thoughts  of God. We need to be leaders for what is right and good  in our families and with our friends.  We must be willing to stand. We must not give in. Psalm 94:16-17 "Who will rise up for me  against the evildoers? or who will stand  up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been my help, my  soul had almost dwelt in silence." Let us be silent no more.  Let us be louder than those who usurp  the will of the people and are drunk on  their own power. Ephesians 6:12-13 "For we wrestle not against  flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,  against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against  spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore  take unto you the whole armor of God,  that you may be able to withstand in the  evil day, and having done all, to stand." Never give in. Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
