Are you able to withstand a winter at Valley Forge?
His men fled New York to survive, and suffered retreat and the lack of supply, to survive - and to bring the revolution to the next stage: forward with greater strength and determination that before.
They sacrificed, they braved hardships we can scarcely imagine. And they persevered in the end.
The fight for the reformation of our Constitutional Republic upon the proper foundation of Judeo-Christian moral and ethical standards is before us as we winter at our political Valley Forge and contemplate what to do next as betrayal from all sides seem to spell a shortening of our days.
I firmly believe what we need to begin with is the courage of our convictions to stand and to loudly describe and delineate our agenda - accepting no compromise from those who purport to represent us or ally with us. We need next to be rid of the celebrity Christians, including the celebrity pastors, who line their professional portfolio through the same compromises we abhor everywhere else in politics. We need to activate the full body of pastors and leaders who have no public portfolio, to lead our chorus for reformation.
We need our leaders, our pastors, missionaries, educators and thinkers, to take this stand regardless of the titles it may place upon us: political and personal - it is all the enemy's strategy to shut us up at a time we must live out loud and be the witness God calls us to be.
That's the team I want to be on, that's the side I want to winter with regardless the struggle, regardless the outcome in this world.
