2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Below is an excerpt from the wikipedia definition and reading of the Pledge of Allegiance-please take the time, click on the link above for further reading.
The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an expression of loyalty to the federal flag and the republic of the United States of America, originally composed by Francis Bellamy in 1892 and formally adopted by Congress as the pledge in 1942.[1] The Pledge has been modified four times since its composition, with the most recent change adding the words "under God" in 1954.
Congressional sessions open with the recital of the Pledge, as do government meetings at local levels, and meetings held by many private organizations. It is also commonly recited in school at the beginning of every school day, although the Supreme Court has ruled on several occasions that students cannot be compelled to recite the Pledge, or punished for not doing so.
According to the United States Flag Code, the Pledge of Allegiance reads:[2]
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The 2012 Presidential elections are quickly approaching. We need to be ready and well educated so that we can do our part as citizens of The United States Of America and vote a God Fearing leader into office. Our nation claims to be a Christian nation; founded on Christ. But we are quickly moving away from God and forgetting our roots. Does your faith, your morals and beliefs play into how you vote? Please take the time to read this article (link below) written by Michael Brown from Townhall Magazine. This article is very well written and should stir something inside you, as it did me. Thank you for taking the time to read.
