This is a very insightful article from www.deaconcast.com. Whether you agree or disagree with Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty," this article is a very powerful message to all believers of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must learn to stand up for our faith based upon sound biblical doctrine to those who oppose it.
Slowly, I have witnessed the Christian faith erode from our American society. We as a church have a part in that by not advancing our cause, but allowing the world to dictate to us to keep our faiths quiet and go into the closet. We have a very powerful voice if we would all come together and let it be known.

The headline reads: “A&E declares war on ‘Duck Dynasty’s’ Christian values.” It seems the patriarch of the Robertson family made some “offensive” comments in an interview with GQ Magazine. Before we go any further, mull that over for a moment. A camo-wearing, bearded, red-kneck duck hunter being interviewed in a magazine called “Gentlemen’s Quarterly”? Is the world as we know it coming to an end. I’d say it is, but I digress.
For the uninitiated, Duck Dynasty is the saga of the Robertson family of West Monroe, LA. The patriarch of the family, Phil, invented a duck call that sounds very much like a real duck. (Several ducks actually.) This duck call has made the family and their company, Duck Commander, very successful. Phil’s son Willy has parlayed the success of Duck Commander and the unique lifestyle of the family into quite an empire, including the hugely successful TV show.
In spite of their newfound wealth, the Robertson men continue to do the things that they’ve always done, primarily hunting and fishing and making duck calls. The hook is that these multimillionaires still look and dress like red necks (their words, not mine) and wear very long hair and beards.. It doesn’t hurt that each of the sons has married a beautiful “yuppy” woman. There’s also the mom, Miss Kay, and Uncle Si, the family philosopher. They are unabashedly Christian. Phil is a reformed drunk and womanizer who found Jesus and doesn’t hesitate to talk and preach about it. In fact, Phil and all of his sons are ordained ministers. There’s the rub.
