Stand Fast



Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:15

Many times in life the only option left is to stand fast. Stand fast in the face of adversity, stand fast in the face of seeming defeat, stand fast in the face of seeming failure, stand fast, despite the apparent turmoil, yes, stand fast. Rabbi Sh'aul instructs us to stand fast, holding taught traditions, whether by word or deed. The traditions of the word and traditions of works based on the word, become compulsory companions to the daunting decision to stand fast. Regular consultations with proven techniques and established principles, coupled with research of divinely inspired actions empower the Christian soldier to stand fast. Yes, I chose to stand fast!
