Opposition

In light of the recent setbacks to marriage and the family in our nation, we thought we would post one of our favorite quotes. It gives us a little bit of hope when things seem especially dark. 

As surely as this is the work of the Lord, 

there will be opposition.

There will be those,

perhaps not a few,

who with the sophistry of beguiling words

and clever design

will spread doubt

and seek to undermine the foundation

on which this cause is established.

They will have their brief day in the sun.

They may have for a brief season

the plaudits of the doubters and the skeptics

and the critics.

But they will fade and be forgotten

as have their kind in the past.

Meanwhile, we shall go forward,

regardless of their criticism,

aware of but undeterred 

by their statements and actions.
