Standing up for traditional values is going to be hard. That is why we have to be true revolutionaries. We will come under attack. Dan Cathy from Chick-fil-a said they support an organization that supports the traditional family (one man and one woman in marriage). The backlash has been huge, simpy because Chick-fil-a is a company that follows Biblical ideals.
In a similar situation, the Sioux City Gospel Mission is under attack because it does not support same sex marriage, and asks people from refraining from sexual conduct of any type while in the mission. This has sparked outrage and protest of the Gospel Mission, an organization that seeks to help people who are in need and operates from a faith-based position.
As revolutionaries, if you speak out, if you say you stand on Biblical ideas and do not support something in the culture, you will be attacked. You will be slandered, people will hate you, but remember they hated Jesus first. The first step to becoming a true revolutionary is to be able to stand up when everyone is telling you to sit down. To trust the Bible, when everyone else is telling you it's wrong. To push against the current of society when society tells you to abandon the things you believe. It's won't be popular. It won't be fun and sometimes you will be saddened when you stand on the opposite side from the people you love and care about.
Remember, in all things we are more than conquerors. We are Revolutionaries!
