True honor

"There is a true glory, and a true honor; the glory of duty done. The honor of the integrity of the principle.” -General Lee

Christ commands us to take up our cross daily and follow after Him. He does not promise us success or a life of ease. We are promised trials, temptation, persecution, and everlasting life. Our duty to follow God and obey His principles in education, law, government, business, and family life is a duty to be done. This duty is truly glorious and our sovereign God rejoices to see His people be people of principle.

"
Duty is ours; consequences are God's." -Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson

Praise God for these men who feared not government, failure or death. They feared God alone and praised Him as the sovereign Creator of all.
