FROM THE CROSS TO THE FLAG
When this country, America, was founded it was built and based on the freedom of worship. The idea of a human honoring his or her religion as they please gave great glory to the true God. The word “pilgrim’ has a dictionary definition of “one who travels to a shrine or holy place in devotion”. God was very pleased to see humans fight, battle and die simply for the fact of honoring Him. This is the framework of what made this country great. Freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of economy, the idea of choice of one’s own lifestyle (within the skeleton structure of slavery of the African American). The idea of the First Amendment actually comes from a good place.
There are two concepts which need to be noteworthy when looking at this deeply into humanity. One, slavery was (and still is) wicked along with sex trafficking, molestation and childhood labor. However, the core of humans is both good & evil. It is for this reason that we need a savior to save us. God's plan of salvation for humanity comes with a high price of innocent blood, death and human sacrifice. Two, nothing is impossible with God. Even though wickedness exist, God still can bring good fruit from a basin foundation. God’s purpose in life and His creation is for His own glory. If God found purpose in humans fighting a mother country to establish freedom to honor Him; He will bless such a meaning. This truth is core to the fiber of humanity. Why is there justice within the pathway of salvation? Because God found purpose in spite of darkness to bring Him glory. He was able to bring a harvest out of the land of weed, dryness and desolate.
When our eyes are able to rise above the shadows that blocks the beauty of humanity, we are able to see pass the presence pain of this Earth. All our dismay is physically based on a root of a falling creation. Deeper than that, reality is light, glory and the fiber being of eternity within the creation of Heaven itself. There was good before there was an awareness of evil. So, if the moral in the foundation of this nation came from a good seed, where or when or how did we as a civilization grow astray? Somewhere along the journey (with the blind wickedness of slavery) American citizens looked somewhere else for their religion. They (as done before in history) seek other avenues to find their God.
“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” - Colossians 2:8
The truth is Americans started to build their faith in hallow places. Our right and freedom to worship deteriorates too selfish, greedy, prideful, egotistical, hard hearts to execute the wickedness within our nature. We stop seeking freedom from sin. We as a culture strayed to desire evil found in power... worldliness human power; military, economics, private scientific knowledge, this we craved. Freedom of speech, to pray, to teach, to preach, and to lead our children this we strayed away from. We did this to the moral of killing those who did proclaim such a righteous path (John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and other martyr, plus casualty in the spiritual battlefield).
Our spiritual rock has become a hallow cloud that provided no nurturing of spiritual water. We became empty of spiritual truth towards a solid foundation of beliefs to continue to grow... our branches of knowledge weigh too heavenly towards the gravity of the philosophy of this world. Our vision became cloudy not able to see clearly the pathway of salvation. Jesus’ light dimmed; not in nature, but in reality. We were no longer guiding our lives around the morality of love. Well,,, not at least the “love thy neighbor as thyself” or not the desire to love our true God with all our being (mind, body, heart & soul) God is love. We cannot find Him if we seek Him on a pathway absent of love.
