What does it mean to stake your flag, or stand your ground? Our founding fathers showed courage and stood against the Crown of England when they signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In early Christianity, many stood in courage and boldness in the name of Jesus, even as many refused to listen. Be encouraged today to stand firm with your brothers and sisters in Christ and proclaim the name of Jesus!
