As people drive by our office, they will notice that we have two flags flying on the same pole, and the Christian flag is above the American flag. This is upsetting to a few people, especially veterans. We understand the reason for this initial reaction on the part of some, but here is a list of reasons for this arrangement:

1. The United States of America is deeply rooted in the Judeo-Christian worldview.

2. Inalienable rights come from God the Creator, not the civil government.

3. The Founding Fathers were well grounded in a knowledge of the Bible and its heritage, as reflected in their correspondence and writings.

4. The Kingdom of God is an eternal kingdom, one that wil never pass away--human governments are temporary.

5. Our very pledge incorporates the phrase, "One Nation under God."

6. Our currency is stamped with the expression, "In God We Trust."

7. The freedoms of religion and conscience constitute the foundation of all other freedoms.

We must understand that the flags are intrinsicially pieces of cloth. Their value is what they symbolize.

Right now, our Federal government, which the US Flag symbolizes at least in part, reeks of lawlessness and anarchy. Our governmental leaders think they are above the law. The majority of our Supreme Court Justices merely "invent" or "shape" law to suit the times and their ideology. Sexual anarchy and autonomy are favored over freedom of religion and conscience. The lives of unborn children are meaningless. Our military is losing its fighting edge over issues of transgender and gender neutrality. A school age girl must now face the possibility of finding a boy in her restroom or locker room; a woman in a dressing room might find a man there. And tragically, a huge percentage of the electorate is blind to the dangers we are facing (consider who's been president the last eight years!).

The Christian flag, on the other hand, symbolizes truth, leading to freedom. As Jesus declared, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32). The gift of life and freedom originate in the Creator alone. His laws are transcendent and absolute. Any nation that breaks these laws destroys itself.

In light of all this, I genuinely hope that those who are upset over the way our flags are flown will pause and consider: which is more disturbing, the way these flags are displayed, or the rapid moral and societal collapse of our country along with the abandonment of its founding principles? We affirm without apology that unless America returns to God, there will be no American flag to fly!
