War Is Not the Answer...Except

From my former liberal days…I can honestly vouch for the fact that liberals and leftist are very naive. Most are well intentioned...not evil.

But nevertheless their reasoning is very flawed. They have an inability to see evil, true evil for what it is. When you can’t see evil as evil and call it what it is…you can’t fight it. Not effectively.

That’s when you are the victim of a terrorist act and treat the terrorists like they are criminals. Like our country did after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

Naiveté at that point becomes dangerous.

While I’d like to take credit for the above “War Is Not the Answer…Except” bumper sticker…in all honesty, I can’t. I did have it specially made…but the idea came from the Dennis Prager show. I believe the quote is a compilation of Dennis’ sentiments and caller’s contributions.

For quite some time now…I’ve hoping to run across one like this…but finally decided to have my own done up. If you have a favorite bit of wisdom you would like to see in a bumper sticker…click on the link to Make Stickers.

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
