The last paragraph of tha article was hard-hitting as well:

? In signing your name, you are giving up your life and risking so much, but in the end, life is what you gain. But just like the founding fathers, the temptation to leave your name off the record in an attempt to save your life will only lead to not just the loss of your life, but the loss of so much more.

Lots of food for thought.

Sure is, isn't it? Thanks for reading that link, YM.

"In signing your name, you are giving up your life and risking so much, but in the end, life is what you gain...."

No one wants to die, not even the Founders who signed the Declaration of Independence. But even they - "the rich and privileged white" -- recognized that sacrificing 30 pieces of silver and all of the wealth THIS world offers means nothing in the next world. That is the Big Picture. And THAT is why the Christian ethic of the Founders was so very crucial to the establishment of this Republic.

Jesus tells us that if you wish to save your life, you will lose it, and if you give up your life for His sake, you will gain it (Matthew 16:25).
