THIS PAGE IS LINKED FROM ruCHRISTIAN - IT NEEDS LOTS OF COSTS. WHAT ARE THE COSTS OF BEING A CHRISTIAN?

And for the support of this Declaration,
with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other
our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Are you a good American?

If George Washington and other signers of the Constitution were to follow you around for a week, what would they think of the decisions you make, the candidates you vote for, and the people and actions you tolerate?

What have you pledged of your substance to preserve the things that made America great: "Liberty Under God."

What material things have you sacrificed to preserve the spiritual foundations of America?

What "Valley Forges" have you endured, or are you prepared to endure?

Luke 9
61 Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home."
62 But Jesus said to him, "No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."

Are you a good Christian?

Are you "fit for the Kingdom?”

If Jesus Christ were to follow you around for a week, what would He think of the decisions you make, the candidates you vote for, and the people and actions you tolerate?

Would you LIKE to be the kind of American that George Washington would be proud of?

Would you LIKE to be the kind of Christian that would please God? Hebrews 13:16, 21

Surprisingly, it really doesn't take much. Jesus says His burden is light, and His yoke is easy (Matthew 11:30). John says His commandments are not grievous (1 John 5:3). Some say they are "independent" and don't believe in "yokes." But the question is not WHETHER we will be under a yoke, but WHOSE yoke we will be under. Wouldn't you rather be under a yoke that's easy? Wouldn't you rather be the slave of a Master who desires only your best? Why accept being an illiterate and dependent slave of a "fearful master?"

What it takes is allegiance. Total commitment. You must be willing to renounce the old country and declare your allegiance to a new Kingdom.

It’s astonishing how many people today are unwilling to make this commitment.

It’s unbelievable how many people prefer dictatorship and poverty over liberty and prosperity.
