## Resource

"Do right until the stars fall!" is what evangelist Bob Jones was known for saying. In the Bible, the book of Daniel, chapter 3, tells the story of prideful king whose wrath was kindled because 3 Hebrew boys refused to bow down to his image. They did right even though they knew the consequences of being thrown into the fiery furnace. In the 2026 Kentucky Primary, Congressman Thomas Massie knew what the consequence might be for not following President Trump's edicts, but Massie did the right thing anyway. He didn't waver...nor did he ever during his 14 years in Congress. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-roten-show--5987430/support .
