And therein lies the dilema. How do we know when its time to be still and know that God is God? How do we know when its our turn to do our part and fight for every inch we take?

A church in Benjamin Franklin's day struggled with the idea of using a lightning rod on their building. Wouldn't God protect them? If not, wouldn't it be God's will if the church was struck?

Franklin pointed out to them that they built a roof to protect from rain. What was the difference?

Now, hundreds of years later, there is still no agreement concerning the effectiveness of lightning rods.
