Yet, accomplishing this Vision takes a different level of thinking. I have heard it said that \u201cwe cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them\u201d (Albert Einstein).<\/p>\n<p>I know many Christians want to stand up for their beliefs and values but, do not know how. \u201cUnited we stand, divided we fall.\u201d We, who share the vision of a world grounded in Christian values, need to come together if we have any hope of tomorrow. I have found a solution that will unite us and restore the Church (Christian Values) as the foundation in our communities, in our businesses and the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/\/&lt;iframe width=&quot;854&quot; height=&quot;480&quot; src=&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6QNjzOXU1YE&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;\/iframe&gt;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 705px; height: 379px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6QNjzOXU1YE\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Please take some time to watch the following video.

I know a movement that is gaining steam every day. Just like a train\u2019s steam engine, each drop of water increases the temperature till it turns to steam \u2013 just one degree more than boiling.<\/p>\n<p>The steam engine leaves the station and begins rolling down the tracks. The train just keeps building more speed and power. Once this occurs, the engine becomes unstoppable. We can join this train (Pocket Wisdom Insights) and begin to impact millions of lives. We need to build trust in God, in ourselves and in our neighbors. Doing this, we can stand up for what we believe. We can make a difference in our communities, our country and the world.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0So whoever knows the right thing to do and<br \/>\nfails to do it,\u00a0for him&#8230; it is sin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=James+4%3A17&amp;version=ESV\">James 4:17<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2>Possibilities for Consideration: Unite Our Thinking<\/h2>\n<h3>Take a moment and examine\u2026<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>As you reviewed the material above, what stood out to you?<\/li>\n<li>What is the potential impact, economically and\/or socially?<\/li>\n<li>What action is needed to stop or support this idea?<\/li>\n<li>You may want to consider whether you:\n<ul>\n<li>want to be <em>aware<\/em> of,<\/li>\n<li>should become <em>supportive<\/em> of,<\/li>\n<li>would want to be <em>active<\/em> in this topic?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Add Your Insight: Standing Up<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
