'Let Us Go On' by Annie Johnson Flint

Let Us Go On

 

Some of us stay at the cross,

Some of us wait at the tomb,

Quickeded and raised together with Christ,

Yet lingering still in its gloom.

Some of us bide at the passover feast

With Pentecost all unknown--

The triumps of grace in the heavenly place

That our Lord has made our own.

 

If the Christ who died had stopped at the cross

His work had been incomplete,

If the Christ who was buried had stayed in the tomb

He had only known defeat;

But the Way of the Cross never stops at the Cross,

And the Way of the Tomb leads on

To victorious grace in the heavenly place

Where the risen Lord has gone.

 

So, let us go on with our Lord

To the fulness of God He has brought,

Unsearchable riches of glory and good

Exceeding our uttermost thought;

Let us grow up into Christ,

Claiming His life and its powers,--

The triumps of grace in the heavenly place

That our conquering Lord has made ours.

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signs bill for student-led school prayer

Gov. Phil Bryant of Mississippi signed Senate Bill 2633 last week.

The new law says all Mississippi school districts must allow students to talk about their faith in the classroom and organize school Bible clubs, as well as pray at football games, graduation ceremonies, and during morning announcement.

The policy must include a disclaimer that such student speech "does not reflect the endorsement, sponsorship, position or expression of the district."

Bryant stated, "We believe that we're on firm ground here with our opportunity for religious expression in a limited forum within public schools. That does not mean that they won't file a lawsuit, and we'll see how that comes out for us."

Bear Atwood, representing ACLU of Mississippi, told The Associated Press that she thinks the law "has serious constitutional issues."

In response to any legal objections, Bryant answered, "If we've got to spend taxpayers' money, I think we would be honored to spend it in defending religious freedoms for the people of the state of Mississippi."

The Rev. David D. Tipton Jr., superintendent for the Mississippi District of the United Pentecostal Church, explained there are barriers to religious expression in public schools.

"We have listened to the argument of the separation of church and state too long, and those barriers, I believe, is a facade with a certain agenda that has actually I think brought our nation to the peril that it is in. So, yes, there are barriers there that a person or a child is afraid to speak anything related to God or Jesus because of lawsuits and things like that. So I think this piece of legislation will be a positive thing for the state of Mississippi."

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

-- John Adams

 

"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."

-- George Washington
