NO TIME FOR POWDER PUFFS!
Men, if we are going to be men of courage, we must speak up for what's right when the opportunity presents itself. If you have got any truth in you, for goodness’ sake, SAY IT! Do not hide truth behind closed doors.
Edmund Burke wrote, "All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing."
The question we need to ask ourselves is, how righteous are we really when we do not speak up when we should? God is calling for all Christian men to use every opportunity possible to be light shiners and salt preservers. When someone is telling a lie, speak up and tell the truth.
True men will always cringe when they see men sucking up to the false, especially when the false are rich, predominant, popular, physically stronger, or politically powerful.
It is high time for us men to tell it the way it is, no matter who is listening.
We may get persecuted for it.
We may lose our job for it.
Even our friends at church, who we wish to impress, may despise us when we do not toe the party line.
So what! It's time for men to be men and get rid of all that is yellow and gutless.
No more time for powder puffs who hold their peace when the sword should be drawn.
