On December 3rd, 1775, the GRAND UNION flag was raised for the first time aboard the ALFRED by John Paul Jones. A few months later, on July 4th, 1776 (Independence Day), the same styled banner would represent our forefathers as they went to war against Britain.
When thinking of this date, lets remember the courage it takes to do something different. As Christians, we sometimes have to stand up for what we consider right. When someone asks us to lie for them, we must resist. When someone shows us a new way to cheat, we must deny the urge and raise the banner of Jesus in our lives. Yes, battles between right and wrong will exist in our lives. So, is your banner ready? Do you have the courage to raise it aloft for all to see? Are you prepared to do spiritual battle against the temptations of the Devil? If so, then continue the good fight and keep your banner high! |
