A Moment of Patriotism Takes No Time

American Patriotism

Did you know that an act of American patriotism can take less than 2 minutes for the unity of our nation?

Consider this:

The LORD’s Prayer takes 30 SECONDS to recite (much longer to comprehend).
The 23rd Psalm takes 53 seconds.
Worshiping with the song “Amazing Grace” takes 1:36 (the first stanza takes 30 seconds).
Singing our National Anthem takes 1:55 seconds for us all to just be Americans. Then we can go back to being Cowboys and Redskins; Republicans and Democrats; male and female; Black and White.
Chapter 13 of Paul’s 1st epistle to the Church at Corinth takes 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

Spirit vs. Flesh

“People of the spirit” get this. “People of the flesh” DO NOT get it, because they can’t. Galatians 5:16-26 states:

¹⁶This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

¹⁷For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

¹⁸But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

²⁰Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

²¹Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

²³Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

²⁴And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

²⁵If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

²⁶Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

American Exceptionalism

Please enjoy a brief, throw-back, conversation I had with the Heritage Foundation’s policy expert, David Azerad, on American Exceptionalism. The Heritage Foundation is a conservative public policy think tank. It promotes the principles of:
