Have you ever wondered how far you would go to stand up for what you believe in?
I think most of us like to think that we would stand by our beliefs no matter what, the way this man stood up to someone who mocked his faith. But most of us don’t really ever have a reason to take the fight all the way to the top.
Well, as of this week, the Christian Cowboys of Wichita Falls, who are members of the Texoma Cowboy Church, are no longer “most of us.” They decided to make a very dramatic, very public stand for their beliefs, just like Carrie Underwood did when she sang about God.
They learned that the Supreme Court of Oklahoma had ruled that the monument to the Ten Commandments outside of the state courthouse had to come down. Well, the Christian Cowboys weren’t going to stand for that.
Though the church is actually based in Texas, they decided to ride all the way to Oklahoma City on horseback, in a peaceful demonstration of their disapproval of the ruling, and in an effort to raise awareness. Needless to say, a dozen men riding horseback to the state capital is bound to draw some attention to a cause.
In their hands, they carried their own stone tablets, complete with a carving of the Commandments that make up the basic principles of the Christian faith. Whether you share their beliefs or not, I’m sure that you’ll agree that it’s a pretty impressive way to draw attention to a cause!
If these committed cowboys stunned you, please SHARE on Facebook!
