THE WORK

Christians, and non-Christians alike, we need to look around us. We need to see, hear, read, learn, listen to what is being said and done around us. We need to understand the proposed and passing laws, the justice system, the law enforcement and the political atmosphere and agenda. We need to care deeply and have a passion for bringing our country back. We need to understand what it means to be American, in terms of working hard, taking time to enjoy playing, preserving the family unit, fighting for what is right and worshiping our Father in Heaven.

As we understand our mission to take back our country and understand it is a do or die situation, we realize the meaning of being a patriot. We realize that we will lose our country and our freedom and our way of life if we do not fight. What is a patriot? A patriot will risk all to preserve what it means to be American as defined in the Constitution. Are we patriots and do we have what it takes to live as real Americans? Yes, some do know and some will because of what we do.

FIGHTING THE WAR

Things are different today in some unsettling ways. The situation is confusing to us because the terrorists, infiltrators and enemies are different than we are used to confronting. Now, we have unknown terrorists, legal and illegal immigrants, political forces and fellow citizen enemies. Psychologically, it is hard for us to take a stand on fellow Americans or people within the borders of our country.

The test to determine if our thinking is correct – is easy. Use the Constitution. Read the document itself. Think about the intentions and the reasons for the wording and what it protects. Think about how great America has been and how many people have died to preserve our freedoms. With this mindset, we know what we are fighting for and how life in America should be lived.

As a patriot we should pray for our country, live according to the Constitution and fight for what is right. At home, our mindset and how we live each day is the next step after personal inventory and praying. We need to nurture and give loving attention to our relationships including spouses, children and our families. We need to make sure we help neighbors, seniors and youth in practical ways.

We need to find a church that teaches fundamental Christian values, enjoy fellowship and worship. Even if it seems like work or seems inconvenient, we need to do it. We are trying to recover what has been lost and fight for what is right. As Americans we are Christians and non-Christians alike. God intends for us to know Him, love Him and to serve Him with a joyous heart to be happy. We should try to understand this concept.
