Is Patriotism Dead?
7/4/2009 6:22 am |
Perhaps not dead, but waning in popularity. So many Americans, disenfranchised with their government, disappointed with political correctness, and disapproving of the current trends in our country, have become lackadaisical about the rich heritage we have here in our great country. But, does this constitute the death of patriotism? Not for me! My flag waves 24/7, 365. I believe in this country, regardless of its many faults and errors. It may be increasingly difficult to agree with the direction we are going, but I am privileged and honored to be an American. I feel that it is a blessing to be a citizen of a country founded on God's principles. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner, in triumph shall wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. Christians ought to be the best citizens and the finest patriots. Certainly they have a prior allegiance to God Almighty. But this can only make them better Americans. They need not gloss over the nation's defects or sweep its failures under the rug. They need not claim that their country is always right. When it is right, they will support it; and when it is wrong, they will love it and work to correct it. Even as the Apostle Paul could speak proudly of his Roman citizenship, so should every American Christian speak proudly of his. The day that patriotism ceases, that day we will have ceased to be a people. Patriotism is not dead; our nation is not finished. Let us rally behind our flag; let us love our country with all its faults; let us work to improve it with all our strength; let us defend it with all our resources; let us hand it on to generations unborn better than it was when we received it; let us instill in our children the hope of our forefathers for the ultimate fulfillment of their dreams. But above all, let us tell them that the greatness of America lies not simply in the achievement of the ideal but in the unrelenting pursuit of it. Happy 4th of July! NOTHING that happens, happens for NOTHING  I Am Truly Blessed By Each Of You Here At BC, Yes, Even You!!! What's In YOUR Past? Hey BigChurch! We're Back From Our Honeymoon!

I'm with you! God Bless America! And I am grateful for those who have given their lives for us to have the freedom we have. My brother being one. And now my nephew has served. My father in germany, and so on and so on, like most every family in America. "There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still" Corrie Tenboom
