Aaron Tippin - You've Got To Stand For Something

[@Amber-kc1gt]

I just heard this song recently after my husband got demoted at work. He was doing great in his new role until his superiors literally told him that he needed to start lying to customers and selling them things that they didn't need so the company could meet their sales quotas. My husband immediately told his superiors that while he was more than willing to work on selling more, he wouldn't do it by deceiving people. He was demoted shortly after that. When one of his coworkers asked him why he did it, he said "I have to answer to a much higher authority than (manager) and (assistant manager)". While the extra money from the promotion was nice, I'm so proud of my husband for standing up for his values. Thank you Lord for giving him an honest and caring heart.

Ready for revolutionary war mark 2. There's going to be a point where America says enough. Most Americans (I don't consider they who shall not be named Americans) are afraid to stand up, and in my opinion it's time we stand up and say enough is enough and take back our government, and our home. First through lawful protest and contacting government officials but unfortunately a LOT of people don't even know we can contact gov officials and speak our minds and if they don't listen, then we protest. Its to much work to contact them, go to council meetings etc. There will be a straw that breaks the cammels back, and that straw is getting mighty heavy. Americans are the majority but unfortunately we're the silent majority.

Albus White Lies, Lies, and lies. Open the bible if you want truth pal. Macro evolution is scientifically impossible. Natural selection cannot extend outside the DNA limit, in other words, two creatures of the same species cannot mate and produce a new species, only new breeds. Another fact to consider is that genetic mutations are harmful most of the time as well as extremely rare. Biological information comprises a complex, non-repeating sequence which is highly specified relative to the functional or communication requirements that they perform. Such similarity explains, in part, Richard Dawkins’ observation that, “The machine code of the genes is uncannily computer-like.” What are we to make of this similarity between informational software-the undisputed product of conscious intelligence-and the informational sequences found in DNA and other important biomolecules? If our genes and cells arose randomly through competition for supremacy, then how can we explain so many wonderful processes where cells are programmed to sacrifice themselves for the good of the whole, especially during development? I have done chemical synthesis on parts of the DNA molecule. The nucleotides and nucleosides, or sub-units, have bases that act like 'letters' carrying genetic information. I worked many long months connecting just three of these bases, but everyone is told that this complex molecule needed for life, needing millions of bases in the proper order, just 'happened'. I found that to connect these DNA 'letters' together correctly, a protective group must be attached on parts of the molecule to prevent wrong connections. A catalyst is also needed as a condensing agent, and the chemical reaction must take place in a completely water-free environment. If the environment is left open even momentarily, the humidity in the air would prevent the reaction. So I thought, I am connecting only three bases together. How could DNA randomly form out in an ocean or pond? What about all the proteins, sugars, and lipids also needed for life? The DNA in a 'simple' bacterium carries so many 'letters' in sequence that, if you typed it out, it would fill about 2,000 ordinary pages. One human cell would take about a million pages. I did not read any specific creation literature.. Evolution is just unscientific. It violates the laws of chemistry including the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the laws of probability, and information theory. Anti-creationists commonly charge creationists with misusing the Second Law of Thermodynamics, saying that an 'open system' solves the problem. If you put a drop of dye in a body of water, it is an open system, but the molecules are going to diffuse out, not collect together. Systems tend to move into states of greater disorganization. The complex DNA molecules I was working with have a tendency to break down into less complex forms. Very hard, directed work is required to get even the simple parts to form in a particular order. Random processes just won't do it. Chemical synthesis is a very exact science. In fact, a number of scientists are now acknowledging this and admitting that there must be an undiscovered scientific law that caused simple molecules to organize themselves into life. "This scientific law" is know as a creative agent. For their to be a creation and design, there must be a creator and designer. This creative agent is God. In physics, the concept of cosmic fine tuning gives further support for design. The concept of cosmic fine tuning relates to a unique property of our universe whereby the physical constants and laws are observed to be balanced for permitting the emergence of complex life. The degree to which the constants of physics must match precise criteria is such that a number of agnostic scientists have concluded that, indeed, there is some sort of transcendent purpose behind the cosmic arena. British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle writes, “A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question.” One example of fine tuning is the rate at which the universe expands. This value must be delicately balanced to a precision of one part in 10 to the 55th power. If the universe expanded too quickly, matter would expand too quickly for the formation of stars, planets and galaxies. If the universe expanded too slowly, the universe would quickly collapse before the formation of stars. Besides that, the ratio of the electromagnetic force to gravity must be finely balanced to a degree of one part in 10 to the 40th power. If this value were to be increased slightly, all stars would be at least 40% more massive than our sun. This would mean that stellar burning would be too brief and too uneven to support complex life. If this value were to be decreased slightly, all stars would be at least 20% less massive than the sun. This would render them incapable of producing heavy elements necessary to sustain life. With modern discoveries in the field of cosmology, the concept of a definitive beginning of the cosmos has been demonstrated almost beyond question. The Kalam argument states that 1. Everything which begins to exist has a cause apart from itself. (except God who is infinite, eternal, self existent and is outside our universe) 2. The universe began to exist. 3. Therefore, the universe has a cause apart from itself. It thus appears from the data that an uncaused first cause exists outside the four dimensions of space and time, which possesses eternal, personal and intelligent qualities in order to possess the capability of intentionally bringing space, matter-and indeed even time itself-into being. So, to ask what was before God or creation is illogical, as there was no before God. He created time and transcends the physical universe. This is evidenced by what one can infer just from the fact of creation alone: • He must be supernatural in nature (as He created time and space). • He must be powerful (incredibly). • He must be eternal (self-existent, because there is no infinite regress of causes). • He must be omnipresent (he created space and is not limited by it). • He must be timeless and changeless (He created time). • He must be immaterial because He transcends space/physical. • He must be personal (the impersonal can’t create personality). • He must be necessary as everything else depends on Him. • He must be infinite and singular as you cannot have two infinites. • He must be diverse yet have unity as unity and diversity exist in nature. • He must be intelligent (supremely). Only a cognitive being can produce cognitive beings. • He must be purposeful as He deliberately created everything. • He must be moral (no moral law can be had without a giver). • He must be caring (or no moral laws would have been given). The Judeo-Christian God perfectly fits this profile. The universe we live in is only part of a multiverse. Science has all but proven there are other dimensions, something the Bible has always taught. THERE IS A GOD OF ALL GODS, A LORD OF ALL LORDS, A KING OF ALL KINGS, who created TIME, SPACE, ENERGY, MATTER, LIFE AND SPIRIT. The real God is a being of immense power and intelligence that sits outside His creation and runs it. He is not a part of it, He is OUTSIDE OF TIME AND SPACE, a place we call “eternity”, a place where there is an ABSENCE OF TIME, something we cannot fathom!!

[@missafy7397]

I shared this song with somebody who really needed to hear it in a time when he had to stand up for what was right, but it was so hard. He said he drove for miles relistening to it over and over, and this song gave him the strength to move forward in strength, understanding why he actually had no choice. He HAD to take that stand even if it meant he has to betray his word. This just happened, so the outcome is yet to be seen. Sometimes being too responsible in one part of your life can stop you from being responsible in another; especially when you find yourself enabling a tyrant while believing you're helping a person change. Then, finding out you're doing things to help, but being used because the person is secretly doing the same bad things to others and wants to keep doing it. He's been lied to so the person gets his help. I think he was afraid of failing, but it's the person he tried to help that is failing, not him. It's time to speak up now that he sees an enemy of the people enjoys being that enemy.

I think about it because hes had such an impact on my life raising me, and we all appreciate life a little more when our folks get old and we go off and raise a family of our own. I love you Aaron Tipon for this song it means so very much to my family, especially me, my father is a great man.

[@Mcx341]

Im 16 and you know, I never think I realized what this song actually meant until this year! You really have to stand for something because if you don’t then you’ll believe what everyone else says when they’re probably lying to you! And btw, that one part, “Whatever you do today, you’ll have to sleep with tonight…” honestly, I’ve never heard anything more true at least to me, because whenever I go to bed that’s when God will remind me if I’ve done anything wrong, and if I have then I try to make it right!

[@LarsonPetty]

Amidst all the chaos in and around our country, from time to time I see a glimmer of hope in the young that seem to be headed in the right direction. I'm firmly planted in the Autumn of my life, and can feel winter swiftly closing in, and if you'll indulge an old fart, I'd like to impart a bit of information that I wish someone would have told me at your age. First off, enjoy being young for as long as you can. Don't feel as though everything in your life needs to fit neatly in every slot, especially at your age. Also, no matter how bad you think your life sucks right now, in twenty years, you will be willing to give the world and everything in it to return to "right now", even if only for a little while. You are in the final stretch of childhood, and 16 is a very good age to be. Don't be too hasty to be an adult, it's not what we were promised in the brochure. Once you realize what being an adult is, you'll never believe how fast time goes by. If you have parents or other guardians in your life that have your back, cherish them, let them be kooky and embarrass you, I know that I would trade all the gold in Fort Knox to go watch my Father(who I just buried last month) make an ass of himself as he tries to dance to music he doesn't even know. To be sure, you will encounter people that wish to aid you in this life, but there are also those that are out to do just the opposite. The trick is learning to tell the difference, which regrettably, takes a couple of times being burned before you learn their "tells" and know the difference. Wherever you are at this very moment, look out the window. That world out there doesn't give a damn about you or me, or anyone else, for that matter, so be sure to surround yourself with the very best people you can, because sadly, the default mode of life is "crisis" or "preparing for crisis", and true friends/neighbors/relatives might actually one day, mean the difference between life and death. The Real World don't play around, it is that serious. DO NOT, however get caught up in the gloom and doom, for there also incredible high points in this life as well. It is these moments that make all the trudging through the deepest dark worth it. I firmly believe in "No Spoilers", so I'm not gonna touch on or reveal the "Excellence of Life", for that should unfold naturally and in its own timeline, but I will say, these rare gems make all the bad fall completely away. Well, that's about all I have, and if you're still with me at the end of this, I will say thank you for taking the time read all I have written and I'll apologize for being so long winded, but it is such a rarity to discover a young person that "gets it", and I truly wish the best life for yourself and your loved ones as you can make happen.

[@evilsmileyface90]

In the last 10 years since i first heard this song in high school, it's motivated me to get into fights with those just a little tougher than I could handle. Ask out girls I knew were just a little out of my league. To sign up, go overseas time after time to fight crazies in a foreign land. To stand up to those with just a little too much authority. It's gotten me rejected more times than I can count, written up, beat up, blown up, hell even buried alive. But in the end it gave me just that little bit of courage I needed to make it through to the other side and be still standing today. In the end it helped make me from the kid I was to the man I am today. I still live by the words of this song everyday-- "Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep tonight". So thank you Mr. Tippin, for this song.
