Are you a Christian?

Do you believe abortion is wrong?

Not only that, but that it's murder?

Do you believe that homosexuality is un-biblical?

Do believe that according to the constitution a man has a right to keep and bear arms, without having to inform the Gov. of your possession?

Do you believe that a man has a right to own his own land?

Do you believe that judges should judge according to the word of God?

Do you say the pledge?

My dear friends, did you answer yes to any of those questions? How about any but the last one?

I pledge allegiance to the flag

"Thou Shalt Not Murder" (Exodus 20:13, Deut., 5:22 Matt. 5:21)
"(a) For the stage prior to approximately the end of the first trimester, the abortion decision and its effectuation must be left to the medical judgment of the pregnant woman's attending physician. Pp. 163, 164.(http://womenshistory.about.com/library/etext/gov/bl_roe_a.htm)

Of the united states of America

"Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" (Exodus 20:14, Lev. 18:22 Romans 1:27)
"Mass. General Laws c.207. The same laws and procedures that govern traditional marriage also apply to same-sex marriages. There are no special procedures for a same-sex marriage." (http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/gaymarriage.html)

And to the *republic* for which it stands

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." (2nd Amendment of the constitution)

One Nation

"The Heritage Index greatly exaggerates the security of property rights in the U.S. The ever-expanding asset seizure laws have made American property rights among the least secure." (http://www.vdare.com/roberts/tax.htm)

Under God

"The Supreme Court went against legal precedent of the past 200 years...and banned the Ten Commandments when it appeared to be presented as a religious doctrine." "Last week, the justices rejected an appeal from a high-profile crusader for Ten Commandment monuments, ousted Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who lost his job after defying a federal order to dismantle a Ten Commandments monument."(http://10commandments.biz/biz/newsletter/2005/june/supreme_court_ten_commandments.php) (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6232020) (

Indivisible, with liberty and justice

"Thus, when a flat rate Federal income tax was enacted in 1894, it was quickly challenged and in 1895 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional because it was a direct tax not apportioned according to the population of each state."

For All.

"Abortion is a safe and legal way for women to choose to end pregnancy."

Do you not see? If you answered 'YES' to any of my questions, why do you still say the pledge? Why do you give your allegiance to a nation that murders babies, promotes adultery, and goes against it's own laws and original documents. Fellow Christians, I mourn for you. Why is it that we believe we are doing the greatest good by saying the pledge; when it is so obvious that everything our country does now is exactly the opposite, and getting worse? We are not truly loving our country, as it was intended to be, and most importantly, we are not truly loving nor honoring our God when we pledge our allegiance to our flag. You want to be a witness? You want a chance to explain to people about the Christian life? Don't say the pledge, people will ask you why, (I can guarantee it) and you can tell them it's because you love your God, and you are a true patriot. Will it be easy? Assuredly not, of that I have knowledge. Is that course of action right? Certainly I believe so, and would desire proof otherwise, besides sagas of sentimentalization.

"Surely I have taught you statues and judgments, just as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people"

Deuteronomy 4:5-6

Duties before rights.

Everyone wants to concentrates on the rights that they think they deserve, without thinking about fulfilling the duties that they are bound to preform.

For example, our "inalienable" rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Why do we deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? We don't, not really. We are creatures of the fall, doomed to death from the day Adam bit the apple. The only reason we can hope for, or expect any of the above mentioned three things, is because God sent His son to be an propitiation for our sins. But still, unless we live by God's law set forth for us in scripture, we cannot expect these "rights". It is our *duty* to glorify God and follow His law, before we can expect any "rights" from Him. If you think about it, any country that has turned away from God's law, and stopped preforming their duties towards Him, has had these "rights" taken away from them. Think of Communist run Governments, think of the French revolution, where
"Every last king should be strangled with the entrails of the last priest" Those people lived in fear of being reported or turned in, they could not leave there own country freely, you didn't want to try and rise above the common man, for fear of being killed. When we turn from our duties to God, we automatically give up any "rights" that we think belong to us.

So, in reality, every man has inalienable duties, and if those are preformed, he can expect some "rights" because of that. It is a reward from God to His people, it is God keeping His covenantal promises to us. If we Obey, serve, and glorify Him, He will bless us.

A New Years Inquisitory

Have you wished the year goodbye?
A kiss, a wave, a smile, a sigh.

Have you bid the year farewell
with a song so sweetly, sadly, sung?

Did you welcome the New year in,
Surrounded by many, numerous friends?

Or did you softly let it go
In peaceful solitude?

Did you , with gladness, welcome in
the New year, as if a long lost friend?

Or, shying back, watch warily go
the old year leave, the new a foe.

Perhaps, perhaps, it matters not
in time to come, as in ages past
What has been, will be forgot.
