Christian nation

One thing I love about this country is we are a Christian nation, here is how our pledge has evolved;

Official versions (changes in bold italics)
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Amen."
1892 to 1922
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
1923
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United Statesand to the republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
1924 to 1954
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands; one Nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
1954 to present
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

We cannot allow people of other countries with different religious beliefs, change our basic foundation and dependency on God. We have been blessed as a nation because of our belief in the one true God. He blesses His Children with special blessings reserved only for His children. 

Part of our belief in God is to promot free will, people have the right to believe and worship the way they choose to, God wants us to come to Him, because we choose to worship Him. When we submit to God He blesses us, as individuals and even as a nation. Other countries have the problems they have because they are Godless. Our country is under attack by satan and we must not give in to preassure, love the Lord with all your heart.

The best command of all

We just recently came back from a vacation to Tampa Fl. While we were there watching all the people in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I couldn't help but see how everyone was oblivious to the people all around them. Every where you go, your in a crowd, you can't escape the people. By having so many people around you all the time, they have become desensitized. It's as if they don't care about people anymore, they just care about what they are doing. They don't realize the people around them have goals and dreams. They don't stop to think the people around them may have pain and suffering in their life. This is Satan's goal, to get us to stop thinking about others and focus on ourselves. He doesn't want us to care about our neighbor, He certainly doesn't want us to care about their soul. Jesus teaches us to focus our love outward first. To love the Lord our God with all of our heart, mind, body and soul. To love others as ourselves. I am not saying everyone who lives in a city is selfish, but I have noticed it can bring out the worst in people if you let it. Don't let satan bring out the worst in you, let Christ shine in your life.

Bible thumper or Bible dumper

The enemy is advancing and it's my fault. I use to make fun of those "bible thumpers" who walked around with their bibles and talked about Jesus all the time. They would say, repent and be baptized or go to Hell and be condemned for ever. How could they be so unforgiving, I would say. Why don't they tone it down and be more tactful. If they would only talk a little softer and not talk about Jesus all the time, I might take them more seriously. It's like I rubbed the magic latern and poof, it came true. Now we have people saying there is no God, or there is a God and He loves everyone just the way you are. We have people leaving the Church and a government who is more concerned about other religious groups than honoring the one and true God. We have allowed dangerous language to influence our behavior toward each other where violence becomes what they believe to be the only way. Fanatics killing Christians. We have gone from "bible thumpers" to "bible dumpers". This is my fault and I will not stand silent anymore, will you stand with me? Let's bring back the days where we stand firm for Gods Word. Don't back down from what the Bible says, don't make excuses for God's teaching. There is no such thing as too much Church, or too much Jesus.

It's not about you

Satan has influenced the world to think life is about people being happy. That is an easy way to justify what people really want to do, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. Jesus said just the opposite, He said if we follow Him we will be persecuted, there will be pain and suffering. Most of us think that pain is caused by the world, but it can come from within. If I enjoy doing something that is contrary to Godly living, it can be very difficult for me to stop just because I should. Until we understand God calls us to a life of service to Him, we will try to justify what we want to do. Paul even said it is better to not marry so we can focus on God, but we think a great marriage, great kids and a great job are all within our rights as children of God. Our rights are to the kingdom of heaven, not in this world. Satan's focus is "self" The Christians focus is "Jesus".
