Title: Very courageous of this young man

Great story about a high school valedictorian from South Carolina who shared his faith in the Lord, despite prayer being banned at the schools after enough local atheists complained. I hope this story and video can inspire us all to be bold and courageous in speaking the truth of our Lord in a world where so many are vehemently opposed to the truth.

On a side note, I have no idea what kind of sect he is part of and what he actually believes, but that is not my concern.

Yes, we are all sinners saved by the grace of God and IMO, God even determines how he will use his servants and give them the faith necessary to accomplish his will. ALL our (own) righteousness is as filthy rags. and not anything of ourselves, lest anyone should boast. (or have anything to boast about) :2c:

I agree about not boasting. We were all in darkness at one point, and I still feel like I am sometimes. God puts us in darkness for a reason though so we can see how glorious that light is.
