Who Stands Fast?
Notes
Transcript
Who stands fast? Only the man whose final standard is not his reason, his principles, his conscience, his freedom, or his virture, but who is ready to sacrifice all this when he is called to obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegienace to God--the responsible man, who tries to make his whole life an answer to the question and call of God.
