There are three positions Christians are taking in the current pressure. Some are saying, “It’s so bad now. Persecution is growing. These are just the last moments of time, and I’m just looking for Jesus to come back any day.” Which translates into: “I don’t believe we can do anything about this time, so I’m just thinking about me and I’m going to hide my head in the sand. Don’t count on me to protect the liberty of my children.” On the other hand, there are those who would love to see liberty preserved, they just think that there’s no hope now. But then there’s a third group—perhaps fewer in number—but those who thrill the heart of God. They’re saying, “This is the hardest time the world has ever seen, and it may be the beginning of the end of history; but come what may, until ‘the trumpet sounds’, I’m going to do everything I can to preserve the liberty of my children to be able to hear and respond to the Gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ!”

Which group are you in? “…What can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3) in this pressurized time?

We can choose to believe that God tells the truth! Jesus said, “In the world you shall have tribulation [(pressure)]; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) Jesus promised us that pressure would come, but He’s already faced it and He overcame it. Now, He lives inside those of us who are committed to Him; He will now live through us in this world of pressure. And because of His life in us, others will be led to find Him as their life also. Light shines brightest in the darkest night!

Recently one of the churches in our community held a special meeting on Flag Day, June 14th. They honored the United States Flag, “…the Republic for which it stands…”, and the soldiers who have defended that Republic. Our original Continental Congress approved the basic design of our Flag on June 14th, 1777, which is why the day has been set aside as a day to honor our Flag.

I remember being taught the importance of our Flag as a child by my Dad and Mom. Dad was a World War II veteran and had a great love for our country. The public school I attended likewise taught us respect for country and the Flag which represents it. We saluted the Flag and pledged allegiance to it every morning. This is rarely done now as the emphasis through the education system is on nations coming together in a one-world government. We were taught the Biblical understanding that:

“God hath made of one blood all nations of men…and appointed…the boundaries of their habitation.” (Acts17:26, emphasis added)

Now most children don’t even know the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Let’s carefully consider this pledge in an effort to regain its powerful message. The Pledge states:

Whenever I’ve been in New England studying America’s history, I’ve always been awe-struck by the many monuments and markers in that region which told of our past. Our beginnings there speak to us in a great way concerning our Biblical roots. Everywhere I turned there were references to the work of Jesus Christ in the lives of our ancestors. Why did our forefathers place these monuments there? Why are their words so specific in their instruction to us?

For example, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where the Pilgrims first landed, there is a large stone placed over the spot where they buried half their number that first winter. On the back of that stone are printed some words we definitely need to know. They Continue reading
