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."

 The Question
Posted on October 22, 2012 by katherine


“Two be, or not to be, that is the question.” NO! Shakespeare, sorry, that is not the question. Let me explain.

I was just reading an email from a partner of Daily Live Worship where they are requesting prayer for 2 young girls who were tortured & put in jail for not denying Christ… The girls were from another religion & came to know Jesus, as Lord & Savior… Their family heard about it & began the torturing. Just reading about the excruciating pain & agony these girls have gone through, I just fell to my knees in brokenness. Here in America, we complain about not getting out of church on time, the fast food lines are too long, not getting our Starbucks coffee, or not being able to watch the X-Factor because the baseball game is on..

I need to take inventory of my life. I pray you will too.. Would I endure agonizing pain and misery like so many have, for the cause of Christ? Or, would I deny Jesus, like Peter did, if it came to that?

Would I lay my life down for Him, at any cost? That is the question!
