Standing as Witnesses
An ancient prophet encouraged his hearers to “stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in…”
The scriptures give us many accounts of prophets and others who were willing to stand as witnesses even though doing so threatened, or even cost them, their lives. I have been inspired by the examples of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, John the Baptist, Paul, and Abinadi.
How can WE stand as witnesses of God? Many possibilities come to mind.
We can be good examples of righteous living.
We can nurture in our hearts a god-like love for others.
We can refuse to compromise our values even when everyone around us seems willing to do so.
We can learn and apply true principles in our lives.
We can speak up/out by contacting our elected officials.
Recently I learned of another way we can make our voices heard.
The Republican Party is seeking your input as they develop the policies and principles upon which the party should stand for the next four years. On their website, you can share your thoughts, participate in polls, and communicate directly with the policymakers who will be shaping the party’s agenda. All comments and feedback will be reviewed by the platform committee and taken into full consideration as leaders prepare for the national convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Do you want to make sure the Republican Platform reflects conservative values? YOU can have a direct impact on the party platform! Here is what you can do.
Go to http://www.gopplatform2008.com.
Click on “Create Platform Account” on the right side of the screen.
Then you can log in and comment on the platform.
In order to comment, simply click on “Submit Text Entry” on the right side of the page. There are 7 categories in which you can post suggestions.
The Republican Platform Committee has promised to read every comment posted on the website. It is vital that the Committee receives responsible, conservative posts from the grassroots. Perhaps giving our input on this site is one way we can stand as a witnesses .
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
