Another Christian soldier stands up for truth

In yet another instance of college administrators over-stepping their authority, Beth Sheeran was threatened and bullied, because she wanted to share life-saving information on campus. The administration at Spokane Falls Community College labeled her efforts "hateful" and "discriminatory" and ordered her to be silent. Nevertheless, Beth, a devout Christian, stayed the course of truth and prevailed.

Do you, soldier, have what it takes to stand up for righteousness? "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. " (Matthew 5:6, 10) But you needn't be fearful to stand up for truth, "For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7) "...[A]nd lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)

Read Beth's story here. It is a portrait of a Christian soldier engaged in the "struggle... against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world."
