George W. Bush is not Lord. The Declaration of Independence is not an infallible guide to Christian faith and practice. Nor is the U.S. Constitution, nor the U.N. Universal Declaration on Human Rights. "Original intent" of America's founders is not the hermeneutical key that will guarantee national righteousness. The American flag is not the Cross. The Pledge of Allegiance is not the Creed. "God Bless America" is not the Doxology.
Sometimes one needs to state the obvious—especially at times when it's less and less obvious.
If these statements are so obvious, why do our lives not always easily reflect our Godly calling like it should? Hint: “We Have an Adversary”. Satan, the “Prince of the Air” is creative and is constantly finding ways to draw our attention to things that are good, but just not great. “Vote for this”, “Stand for that”, “Champion a worldly cause”; we are bombarded with someone else’s mission every day of our lives.
So how do win the fight of taking back our lives? By filling our lives with service to Christ. Placing Him above all things and finding opportunities for our hands to find work and worth in the purposes of God.
Each one of us has a void that can only be filled by the Creator. Songs are written about looking for the one who can fill the “Hole in my Heart”. Well friends, look no further. He’s standing at the door of your heart, knocking.
We come together on a corporate level to worship and honor God. As we live our daily lives, let us strive to honor God with every thing that we do. And, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16
In HIM,
