Put God back in America
Take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance to my country? It is difficult for me to believe that I live in a county where men are more focused on removing God from our everyday lives rather than focusing on the things that do need to be changed. I am a New Testament Christian and until the day I die, I will fight in God’s army. It is a shame and disgrace that I have to fight in my homeland to keep the basis that has founded this great country, but without myself and others like me, God will not be heard.
I (like many others) am certain that our forefathers intended for God to be the foundation of this nation. I know God as our creator, not because it is what my parents believe, but because I have read it for myself.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God.” (II Timothy 3:16). The Ten Commandments have also been removed from courthouses and many other federal buildings. Some say this display of God is a move against their freedom of religion, forcing them to believe in Him. It is against my freedom of religion by removing them, and by removing them, they are displaying their beliefs to the very same extent.
If every Christian here in McMinnville had voted against the liquor referendum, as they should have, it would never have passed. If every Christian in Tennessee had voted against the lottery, it would not be in effect today. I, however, will stand up for what is right — even if I’m standing alone. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, left the glory of heaven and came into the world to die for me, so I will live for Him. Whether or not you believe in Him is up to you, even though He still shed His precious blood for you, too. His sacrifice was given to us as a gift of life, and by not acknowledging Him, you refuse this gift. I only hope this message will stir your thoughts and your hearts. God is not the enemy.
Sincerely,
