"Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people." Philippians 2:14-15Justin Farley encourages us to be citizens of heaven, to be bright lights in this world. He challenges us to examine our lives to see if we are living clean, innocent lives and if we are different than this world.
What does it mean to pledge allegiance—not just to a flag, but to values, legacy, and purpose? In this compelling episode of The Mike Litton Experience, Mike sits down with LaWanna Bradford, a powerhouse author, former federal analyst, Olympic Games budget officer, and daughter of a real-life Buffalo Soldier. From growing up as a military […]
Jesus' very first introduction of the Church was accompanied by a declaration that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. From its first mention, God's plan for an increasingly darkening world was a continually maturing Church. We must recapture and recommit to God's original intent for the Church, realizing it's more than Sunday morning.
Worship Guide 3.30.25
When we pledged allegiance to Jesus we became residents of another Kingdom — another world. In this world, we are offered paths of compromise, comfort and self-preservation. But we're not called to escape; we are called to stand firm, bearing witness to another Kingdom — another world. We are called to remain as faithful witnesses to God's reign, even when the world around us is hostile and uncertain.
Those who've accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior have seen something. Eyes that were once blinded to the truth of His death, burial and resurrection have seen that indeed He is the Christ. Having seen and accepted that truth our lives have been radically and eternally changed. We have seen something and we have to say something!
There are countless forces competing for our allegiance. In today's message Pastor Cason and Elder Morgan share from their trip to India and the revelation that came from it: Our allegiance must first be to Christ and to His Kingdom regardless of tribe, tongue, or nation. I Pledge Allegiance to Christ and to His Kingdom!"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33
I Pledge Allegiance To The Word Pt. 4 by Pastor Keith Battle by Zion Church
I Pledge Allegiance To The Word Pt. 3 by Pastor Keith Battle by Zion Church
In this message, we explore the theme "I Pledge Allegiance to the Word," emphasizing the importance of not just hearing God's Word but truly living it out. Drawing from James 1:21-25, we're reminded to create a humble, distraction-free environment where the Word can transform us. Using the analogy of glancing versus gazing into a mirror, we learn the value of deeply engaging with Scripture to reveal our true selves and guide our spiritual growth. Despite opposition from the enemy, we are called to hold fast to God's promises, such as His promise of rest — a spiritual peace available to all who walk in faith and obedience. Join us on this journey of surrender and alignment with God's Word for lasting transformation.

Mike Johnson gets enough votes for Speaker of the House. Dome doesn't know the Pledge of Allegiance. Hakeem Jeffries wants to fart hard for freedom. The media doesn't want to call terror, terror. The American people have trusted officials and agencies for so long, and they now see how foolish that may have been. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

PARTY CRASHER: How Jesus Disrupts Politics as Usual and Redeems our Partisan Divides | Pledge Allegiance to the King | October 27, 2024 In our current cultural moment, with a national election looming, the political divide feels as wide as it's ever been. Various political tribes present various visions of what will ultimately lead to society-wide flourishing. But Jesus is the ultimate Party Crasher, both affirming and confronting the various visions and inviting us to embrace a bold new vision of His Kingdom. In this series, we learn to live well in our polarized political world, in a way that can bring peace for the exhausted, courage for the anxious, comfort for the weary, and hope for all of us. For followers of Jesus, the fulfillment of hope and the path to true flourishing is found always and only when we pledge our allegiance to Christ alone.

We want freedom when it benefits us but often agree to deny it for others if it doesn't directly benefit us or even feels like a threat to us. That is hypocrisy, and in the end, it doesn't allow for true freedom. God made us to be free creatures, and Christ died to set us free. But freedom necessarily means a choice to respond to the gospel and choose God or reject Him. We must uphold the freedom to choose in matters of faith, or it is not faith at all.
Description: Carey and Lara are back in the OC, but first, they've got a buffet of topics to dive into: NY Mag reporter Olivia Nuzzi's sexting affair with RFK Jr, the splendor and horror of Moo Deng, haunting new footage of the Titan submersible wreckage, Ryan Murphy's new Menendez Brothers show on Netflix, incest p*rn, and society's weirdness about twins. Then on RHOC, the women finally board a private jet to Sonoma for Heather's fashion show for LGBTQ awareness. Jenn stays behind to fight her scrub of an ex-husband for child support while Shannon is pushed to the brink yet again after Alexis and Johnny J make their red carpet debut and Gina spills the beans over the incriminating videos of Shannon the night of her DUI. Then Shannon reveals a shocking piece of info about John to Heather that will probably not change anything at all.

We tend to view politics as a means to shape the country to benefit us, and when we do we miss the power of the cross in our country and in our lives, and we lose our witness in the process. When we strive to be Christlike by considering others more important than ourselves in how we participate in politics, we show the power of the cross and lean our country deeper into God's blessings.
When we value some human life above others, we negate the glory of God by rejecting those who bear His image. Every human being has dignity both because they bear the image of God and because Christ died for their salvation. Therefore, we must fight for the good of all human life in every stage and condition of life.
We tend to put our hope in an earthly kingdom and an earthly king and so we either give too much loyalty to a person or party, or we live in too much fear of what will happen if our person doesn't win. The crucified Lamb is our only hope. We must put our faith solely in him, follow his ethics above all else, and live for his glory alone.

Kingdom citizens must align their allegiance with God's truth and righteousness, avoiding hypocrisy and idolatry that lead others astray.
The Kingdom of God calls us to be peacemakers and endure persecution with righteousness, even in the face of jealousy and opposition.

Pledging allegiance to the American flag. Singing the national anthem. Voting. Being patriotic. Is there a place for these things in the Christian life? Buckle up because this one will probably offend everyone in some way (including Patrick!). In this episode, we welcome Preston Sprinkle back on the podcast to discuss his newest book, “Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire.” Preston dives into the history of ancient Israel and explains how they postured themselves in relation to Babylon, the empire of the day. He uses this to explain why he believes Christians must live their lives as exiles, or sojourners, in the modern-day “empire” of America. Plus, why is this mindset so offensive to many of today's evangelicals? And what is a true, biblical political view? Listen now! Have you benefitted personally from Truth Over Tribe or seen it have a positive effect on someone you know? have you used the podcast, book, or blog as a catalyst for conversation on polarizing topics? We want to hear about it! Share your story at choosetruthovertribe.com/story. Ok, truth time... Did you like this episode? Tell us by leaving a rating or review!
