My very first challenge! well, not my "first" challenge, I've faced many challenges before, but this is the first blog challenge. I've been nominated (or my blog has been nominated, whatever) to the "Three Days, Three Quotes" challenge by Brianna Meeks of A Cool Glass of Lemonade.
The rules of the challenge are quite simple:
1. Thank the person who nominated you (Thanks Brianna {again})
2. Post quotes for three consecutive days (one a day, keeps the doctor away. or something like that)
3. Nominate three new bloggers each day (I don't know that many bloggers, so, uh, gonna skip this step. Does this mean I failed the challenge? Meh, I'll just bend the rules, WHATEVS)
So, it's been many an eon since I've read a book that does not belong to the "Christian"/"religious"/"apologetics" genre, and I have a tough time remembering... well just stuff in general, so I'm gonna be slamming you with good ol' theological quotes that I've been running into that have challenged me.
Peace if possible, truth at all costs - Martin Luther
This quote really helped shift my thinking from focusing on how to avoid stepping on toes to fighting for truth. I can't pretend that I'm an expert, not even well practiced. But we can't start as professionals, we all begin somewhere.
We have to take a stand for truth. We can no longer stand silent as the enemy rears its ugly head, and as lies gradually become the standard of society. We NEED to stand for truth. Not for the sake of truth, but for the sake of neighbors, friends, family, strangers. We don't deserve the gift of life any more than anyone else, and yet it is freely offered to all who will accept it.
P.S. Sorry for the late release, I'll put the quotes out on three consecutive days though. Hopefully more updates will be coming soon as well. Lots of stuff I've got to get down before I forget. As always, thanks so much for reading. And if you haven't already, like the Facebook page I made, that's where you can get updates for this blog.
