Standing Firm

I wrote Christians Not Taking it Anymore last month in reference to the "removing of Christmas". The Washington Times has a story, Faithful standing more firm, poll says, that says Christains "grew less patient in the past four years with politicians making compromises on such issues as abortion and homosexual rights". Some excerpts:

"There do not seem to be very many voices arguing for compromise today," she said. "It could be that more religious voices feel under siege, pinned against the wall by cultural developments. They may feel more emboldened as a result."
On the question of whether elected officials should set their convictions aside to get results in government, 84 percent of those surveyed agreed in a similar Public Agenda survey in 2000. However, that number dropped to 74 percent in the new poll.
Researchers found a sharper decline on the same question among weekly churchgoers, from 82 percent in the first survey to 63 percent in the second. (Read more here)

I my opinion this is wonderful news; however, "standing firm" is necessary as there will be assaults on faith from many sides as I touched on when I wrote Groups go After Faith. Therefore, in closing I would simply say stand firm and God bless.
