Daily Walking, Working, and Winning by God's Word by Rev. Dr. Alvin C. Hathaway Sr.

In life God elevates us for a purpose. The reason you have resources, status, and access to power is to increase the effectiveness of your advocacy for the needs of others. It is tragic to witness persons with "power" in the earth realm who waste it on selfish pursuits. We need a return to advocacy, when people were willing to sacrifice their position for the needs of others. God takes care of you so that you may take care of others. Speak up in your local communities when you see that things are wrong. Speak up in public forum when there is a opportunity to say what is right. Speak up in our schools when you discover that educational resources are inadequate. Speak up when your political officials are off base and there service leaves much to be desired. Speak up within your faith communities when the leadership goes astray.

We have a biblical mandate to speak up for all of God's people. God also requires us to speak against anything and anyone that would do His children any harm.
