Here I stand, I can do no other! - Martin Luther
I Corinthians 16:13 "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong."
The phrase "quit you like men" in the greek means to make a man of or make brave or to show one's self a man, be brave. In the Strong's Concordance it is reference G407. This verse is clearly encouraging those of us who are believers.
Today throughout the country on college campuses evangelists were handing out the book The Origion of Species by Darwin. Now before some of you get excited, you must know that there was a 50-page forward written by Ray Comfort of www.wayofthemaster.com
This special 308-page edition not only contains the full Origin of Species but also has a 50-page Introduction that reveals the dangerous fruit of evolution, Hitler's undeniable connections to the theory, Darwin's racism, and his disdain for women. It counters the claim that creationists are "anti-science" by citing numerous scientists who believed that God created the universe -- scientists such as Einstein, Newton, Copernicus, Bacon, Faraday, Pasteur, and Kepler.
All across this land today this book was being passed out to college students along with Gospel tracts, one-on-one evangelism conversations, as well as open-air preaching of the Law of God (the 10 Commandments) and the Grace of God, the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is an event that I wish I had been a part of and had been planning on attending for some time now, but for the flu I was not able to join my fellow proclaimers of the Gospel. My heart went out to them and I prayed for them this day. May God receive all the glory and praise and as Isaiah 55:11 says " So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
