Faith
There is a battle for the cross today. People are trying to destroy it and tear it down. I Corinthians 1:18 describes it by saying, "For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." It is a symbol worth standing for, a symbol of...
S-Taking a stand for morality, spiritual truth, values, and convictions.
T- Truth. It is the dividing line between truth and error. Jesus, who died upon a cross, claimed to be the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)
A- Accountability. The cross means we are accountable to God and for how we respond to the death of his Son, Jesus.
N-Our Need for a Savior and Redeemer. This means one cannot earn salvation through good works, or by being religious. It does away with pride and self-reliance.
D- The depravity of humanity. Man has a sinful nature, separated from God, unable to save ourselves.
We must lift high the cross, because when it is high people will not stumble over it. Something is tripped over and trampled on only when it is down low. It is impossible to trample on something when it is raised high. Lift high the cross by using some talent or giftedness you have, and living righteously before God and man. Refuse to compromise your beliefs and convictions. Don't give into political correctness, or so-called "intollerance." STAND up for what you believe as a Christian.
If you keep lifting it high, eventually some people who are trampling on it will KNEEL AND BOW BEFORE IT.

Jesus is raised High now! Nothing man has done, does or can do will ever change that, thank God!
But to those who persist in refusing and rejecting Him, He will ever be their stumbling block and offense, a clash between righteousness and unrighteousness, between good and evil....
