SATURDAY EDITORIAL

rECj and I were talking yesterday about the Court House Judge in Raleigh, North Carolina ruling that the Koran was alright for jurors and witness to use instead of the Bible. She made the comment that the Believers of God, the true believers, could take our America back but we won't.

Why?

I think it is because we are afraid ( I Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind). Afraid that people will assault us or yell or whatever they do to those they that disagree with them. Now I am talking about those people who are against our God. Are they afraid of what people will do to them? It sure don't look like it. They have taken almost everything that pertains to God out of America. They don't mind telling us that we, who will speak out in public about God that we offend them. Well, just let me tell ya'll something...they offend me because I can't speak out for my God in public as well. I don't like to hear someone using God's name in vain (Exd 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain). I don't like all those filthy words they use. I don't mind telling them so. I don't go out much any more but when I do, if I feel that I need to praise the Lord over something, I sure will do so. This country's freedom no longer belongs to native born Americans. It now belongs to others who have chosen to come over here and take over.

Now for just a minute or two lets look at a little history. I wonder how many people know these facts? General Washington would NOT allow cursing, drinking, cards and any games of change. If someone did these things he was to be given 25 lashes right on the spot. The second time the punishment was worse. He, himself, didn't curse. The least religious signers of the Declaration of Indenpence was Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin. Samuel Adams and Charles Carroll cited religion freedom for their reason for supporting the Revolutionary War. George Washington installed the first pastors in the Military. He is also the one who raised their pay from that of a private to that of an officer. Back then the pastors, when away, would have to pay for another preacher to fill the pulpit for them out of their own pockets. George Washington declared that Sunday worship service would be attended by all military.

To those of you who don't want to admit America was founded with religion in mind need to do a little research. You will be surprise at what you find.

So, wherever you are or whatever you are doing, please don't be ashamed (Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels) to stand for God. Just as God stood for us as did our Founding Leaders, the Signers of the Declaration, and the first people who landed in Virginia, who first planted a Cross, said a Prayer. They made a covenant with God over this land. We, the descendants of these very people, are breaking the covenant.

Stay the course and stand (Acts 26:6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:) up for God every change you have and can get.

God Blessings to each of you,
