Donald Trump is being sued over an American flag he is flying in front of his club. That sounds so unpatriotic on first understanding, but I went and read up on the matter. Seems he has violated zoning regulations by having a pole almost twice as tall as is allowable, and not having a building permit for the structure. Okay, I can swallow that. A righteous citizen is a law abiding citizen.
I don't know if this is a publicity stunt, but I really can not justify his actions.
If something is to be done for a good cause, it needs to be done properly as well or risk damaging the message.
This reminds me as a Christian that my God's name is at stake in my actions as well. If I am going to make a statement for Christ's sake I need to be aware of the situation. In my Geology class my teacher has made mention of the big bang theory and pangaea and a few other evolutionary theories. I have wanted to make debate over these topics but knew that it would be unruly and poorly timed. What, then, would I be accomplishing for Christ? Would others be able to respect my position? Not likely. I would probably be marked as a trouble maker- and then what of my testimony?
Prudence is wise.

Good point on debating. There is a time for everything. One of the things I have done as a student is scheduled time with the teacher or talked to students outside of class about what is being taught and then bring the conversation around to Christ and the Gospel in the way that Christ would have us to do.
Great work.
