Very true- He stayed the course amidst severe pressure to conform to the world- he did not- neither did his friends- thankful we still have a very sizeable remnant in America, who although are quite soft compared to what the old testament saints had to face, will still not compromise and stand strong-, and i think that this remnant is the only thing standing between us and the wrath of God on the nation- His wrath is reserved usually for nations who totally compromised- like soddom, where no righteous people could be found, and in noahs time, where the whole world was corrupt- We still have a goodly faithful population- who, when pressed- will be as fine wine is, not like corrupt results from bad fruit-
