Take a Stand!

In one of his last speeches before being expelled from the Soviet Union, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn urged his audience of artists and writers not to capitulate to the growing lies of the Marxist system. He exhorted them to take the position, concerning the lies that were foisted on the Russian and other peoples, “Let that come, if it must come, only not by me!” Here is good advice for Christians in taking a stand against the lies that are being foisted on our own nation by academics, the media, and activists of all sorts. But how can we take such a stand? Here are some resources to help:

“Stand Firm in the Faith,” by T. M. Moore
“On Bringing One’s Life to a Point,” by Gilbert Meilaender
“Where Are the Jehoidas?” by T. M. Moore
“Stand Up for Religious Freedom,” by Charles Colson
“Moral Relativism,” by Greg Kouk
“Telling the Truth in the Business World,” by John Brandon
“Question Authority: When Christians Should Disobey,” by Charles Colson

If you have not yet, this would be an excellent time to sign the Manhattan Declaration and join the hundreds of thousands who are preparing to take a stand for Biblical truth in critical areas. Get the book, Bonhoeffer, by Eric Metaxas, from our online store, to see how one man stood for truth at a crucial moment in history.

A conversation starter, especially with your Christian friends: “You know, Christians have been claiming to know the Truth for some 2,000 years. Isn’t it about time we began to stand up and speak Truth into the lies of our present moral and cultural situation?”
