Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 37 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (LAMP) - JUNE 30, 2010






Proverbs 6:23 (NIV)


For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life,

DAY 37 - DAILY PRAYER (LAMP) - JUNE 30, 2010






Dear God,

I start my prayer by declaring the words that you gave to David in Psalms 119. Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I pray your word over my family in the name of Jesus, for your Word says train up a child in the way he should go and when He is old He will not depart from it. I pray that you will teach me how to train my child or children in the way they should go. I know your Word will show me. You said blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. I pray that you will turn this nation back to God so that we do not lose the blessing you have promised to the nations which honor and respect you. You command us in your word to pray for our leaders and so I humbly come before you lifting up our local and national leaders that they will hear the voice of God and follow it. Your Word tells me how to pray and so I close this prayer by declaring and decreeing the prayer you taught your disciples to pray. Our Father, which art in heaven hallowed (Holy) is your name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. We speak healing, forgiveness and deliverance over our lives and our nation in the name of Jesus AMEN! 


Pastor James Dexter

DAY 37 - DAILY HISTORY (LAMP) - JUNE 30, 2010










DWIGHT EISENHOWER, OCT. 24, 1954, MARKING THE 75TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE INCANDESCENT LAMP:


Faith and the American individual. Yes, it is on these two
pillars that our future rests. It was Thomas Edison who said: “Be
Dwight Eisenhower - 34th President
INSPIRING FAITH FROM LEADERS OF THE PAST 229
courageous; be as brave as your fathers before you. Have faith. Go
forward.” Seventy-five years ago this very week, Tom Edison-a humble,
typical sort of American-put this credo into action and gave a new
light to the world. It is faith that has made our Nation-has made it, and
kept it free.
