Where Is Your Allegiance

I want to be totally clear and transparent. I love America and what it stands for. I served in the US Army for 27 years on active duty. The first 10 years of service, I did without the knowledge of God. The last 17 years I was saved by the grace of God. Needles to say, the first 10 years really sucked!

I said all that to say this. I believe that if we as Christians don’t start to focus on “Kingdom Business “ then this country will assuredly come to an end. What I mean by kingdom business is this. This is PRIME TIME for ministry. Helping others, showing grace and mercy, giving, sharing, caring, but most of all, telling people about who Jesus is.

A constitution, doesn’t do that. A Declaration of Independence, doesn’t do that. An amendment, doesn’t do that. A law passed, doesn’t do that. A label, doesn’t do that. I believe that the day is coming in this country where we will be pushed underground. I think it’s closer than we realize. I also believe that when that day comes, we will be in the perfect will of God. Should we fight, sure! Why not? But can someone tell me where in the Bible it says that we, as Christians, are to fight for our rights? I know it says we are to do justice. But I’m not sure that is the same as rights.

I do not wish ill on our country at all. I have bled, cried, and perspired enough for her for many years. Some of my friends have made the ultimate sacrifice as well. And I will never forget them. But I have had a desire to see us do something that would probably make us look silly to our fellow countrymen. Let’s love one another so the world can see the love of God in us. And let’s mobilize and start witnessing to folks about Jesus. At least we can plant the seed. The Bible assures us that God will reap the harvest! If you took the time to read this, thanks. This has been heavy on my mind for quite a few months now. I’ve already started here in my home. Loving on my wife and son. It starts with us guys. Let’s win our country for Christ!
