One Nation Under God: Rediscovering America's Divine Purpose in Unity


 From Pastor Steve Smothermon

Think about the Pledge of Allegiance, especially where it says, One nation under God.

A beacon of light:

Scripture teaches in Amos 3:3 How can two walk together unless they be agreed? God brought people from every nation of the world to make and create America — a place that would be a beacon of light to the world that God is real and that He sent Jesus to save us; a light that other nations would envy; a light that when a nation honors God, He will cause it, them to prosper; a nation like no other nation; one nation under God; “one nation.”

 
My people:

Regardless of where people are from, when they come here, they become American. America was birthed. God took people from every nation to create one nation where people honor and serve God. Isn’t it sad, especially in the last 12 years, that people don’t want to be one nation under God! They want to be individuals who claim they are working for a group of people (my people) instead of what God intended (My people).
 
Power:

Now, instead of agreement, we have disagreement. Where there is agreement, there is power; where there is a lack of agreement, there is a lack of power. America is losing its power because we are so divided. The Constitution, I believe, given by God to be the law of the land, is being set aside to fit individual needs, not best for all, best for some only.
 
We must pray and ask God to forgive us and expose the darkness that is attempting to destroy America and the lives of people who live here. We must serve God — His way!

Church Is _______ (Fill In The Blank)


It is God’s church – Jesus is the Head of the Church, and it is supposed to be all about him.

Encountering God | Pastor Tiffany Gaudin | Victorville First Assembly of God

  Romans 6:1-4 Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. (NLT)

Remembering the Magic of M.E. Moses: A Journey Back to the Heart of Main Street, Vernon

Image
One of my favorite stores from the past was the M.E. Moses Five and Dime Store on Main Street in Vernon, Texas . For those of you who are too young to remember, a "Five and Dime" store was an old-fashioned discount store where most items cost around five or ten cents. Of course, you would have to travel way back in time to find those kinds of bargains—much further back than my memories from the mid-1970s. Back then, the only thing you could buy for a dime was a piece of hard candy. A comic book cost thirty cents, and a gallon of gas was sixty cents. To put this into perspective, today a comic book is about four dollars, and depending on where you are in the country, gasoline can range from two to four dollars a gallon.

A Pivotal Day in 1776: George Washington and John Adams Confront Challenges of a New Nation

Image
On this day in 1776, the nascent United States was at a critical juncture, marked by urgent military concerns and intense political pressures. George Washington found himself amid two pressing emergencies that would shape the course of the American Revolution. In New York, the threat of British forces loomed large, and Washington was determined to bolster his ranks. Recognizing the need for adequate weaponry, he penned a letter to Major General Artemas Ward in Boston, urgently requesting the transport of 200 carbines, in addition to the 300 he had already ordered. This call for reinforcements underscored not just Washington's commitment to the fight for independence, but also the precarious situation faced by Continental forces as they prepared for a potential confrontation.
