Why Patriotism Is Important?

 

One only must read these words

from Communist Dictator

Joseph Stalin…

 

“If we can effectively kill the

national pride and patriotism

of just one generation,

we will have won that country.

Therefore, there must be continued

propaganda abroad to undermine

the loyalty of the citizens in

general and the teenagers in particular.”

 

It was this attitude that locked Russia

into over 70 years of slavery to

Communism.

Unfortunately, America is headed in

the same direction.

- Bill Brinkworth

 

 

This nation will remain the land

of the free only so long as it is

the home of the brave.

- Elmer Davis

 

May we think of freedom,

not as the right to do as

we please but as the

opportunity to do

what is right.

- Peter Marshall

 

I was born an American;

I will live an American;

I shall die an American!

- Daniel Webster

 

If we forget what we did,

we won't know who we are.

- Ronald Wilson Reagan

 

Have We Forgotten – Darryl Worley

A Note from Hayden…

Today is a special day

It’s my “spiritual birthday”

49 years ago my Dad

Immersed my brother Tim

And I into Jesus Christ

At the Christian camp

We were attending.

Jesus made me free

For sure!

- Hayden

 

 “So if the Son makes you free,

 you will be free for sure.”

John 8:36

 

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind

and floats downstream till the current ends

and dips his wing in the orange sun rays

and dares to claim the sky.

- Maya Angelou

 

Those who expect to reap the blessings

of freedom, must, like men, undergo the

fatigues of supporting it.

- Thomas Paine

 

Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst

for freedom by drinking from the

cup of bitterness and hatred.

- Martin Luther King Jr.

“If My people who are called by

My name will humble themselves,

and pray and seek My face,

and turn from their wicked ways,

then I will hear from heaven,

and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

2 Chronicles 7:14

 

Religion and morality are the

essential pillars of civil society.

- George Washington

 

But a Constitution of Government

once changed from Freedom,

can never be restored.

Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

- John Adams

The issue today is the same as it

has been throughout all history,

whether man shall be allowed to

govern himself or be ruled by a

small elite.

- Thomas Jefferson

 

These are the times that try men’s souls.

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will,

in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country.

but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks

of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily

conquered; yet we have this consolation with us,

that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

- Thomas Paine
