Keep God in the Pledge

Here is a hat tip to supportingourtroops at Yahoo 360°.

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:

"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

I hate to admit this was part of a chain email, but it was so good I had to post it.

The rest of the chain:

For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us....go ahead and delete this For the rest of us.....pass this on.

I include the rest of the chain because it gives pause for thought. Those that do not believe in God or are God-haters would say, "If God is good, why would he allow the disasters to occur or take human lives?"

Those of us who are Believers would say, "God is good. Do not slide into Faith rejection and reap what you sow."

Another point which is not something I choose to argue or prove, however I take it on Faith for God is a Faith God (without Faith you cannot please God - Hebrews 11:6). It is a bad rap on God to accuse him as the author natural disasters or the evil that happens to people. I mean that is what insurance companies do - "Act of God." Disasters occur because Adam broke his covenant with God and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This twisted the Image of God in Adam and his ancestors. What most people do not realize it twisted everything to do with that which Adam was to tend - God's creation on Earth.

Adam gave the authority that was given to him by God to Satan. Thus Satan became the god of this world. The nature of Satan is evil.

Humanity has become delivered from Satan's grip by the Blood and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The human spirit by Faith has had God's image straightened and has become a new Creation in Christ Jesus. Only by Faith, it is not by objective reasoning.

The Full Redemption of God's Creation is at the SECOND COMING of Christ (theologians call it the Parousia). The when and the how of the Parousia is a matter of controversy in the Body of Christ on Earth, however know this: It will happen.
