OK so the title is based off of Americas "Pledge of Allegiance". I want to make a quick note about how we, Christian Americans, perceive the world at large and specifically the nations that America decides to fight in combat. Now I am not trying to propose that those reading this should become a pacifist or anything like that, even though that would be nice, I am just bringing up that sometimes we view America as always in the right and other countries in the wrong. America is not a Christian nation and does not represent Christ to the world. In God's Kingdom their are no national lines or mandatory cultural norms that need to be followed in order to be a child of God. The only prerequisite is that one believes in Jesus. The video that is posted below this blog post is highlighting the fact that a terrorist is just as much a human being as you or I. A person who is an American and doesn't believe that Jesus came to earth, lived, died and rose from the grave is no different in the eyes of God than the terrorist that is planning to crash his car into the tanks of the US soldiers. I pray that God will open our hearts and give us eyes that view people as God's creation and nothing less than that!
