STAND FOR SOMETHING OR FALL FOR ANYTHING God has used His word for one primary purpose—to reveal Himself and communicate to mankind and to give us guidance. The entirety of God's Word is truth, standards we should live by. All scriptures is given for inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped of every good work. II Tim. 3:16-17

STAND FOR SOMETHING OR FALL FOR ANYTHING Our culture, western culture and in particular American culture, has been so degraded that the simple act of having standards can be interpreted as having high standards. BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE. Having high standards is the mark of a man who is not swayed by the lies of the television, the lies of the government, the lies of the deluded and drugged masses of the soul-less.

STAND FOR SOMETHING OR FALL FOR ANYTHING High standards are the mark of a man who is, indeed, above. Holding high standards is an easy accomplishment when others have standards only slightly above complete degradation. The world can burn all it wants, but I am not going to lower myself to the level of an animal. I hope some of you will do the same. Victor Pride
