Live Loud for Christ: Freedom of Speech
By Brooke C.
Writing from a Christian teen’s perspective
The things we do, the way we act, and the words we speak. All of these freedoms were granted to us in the Bill of Rights. More
importantly, they were granted to us by our Heavenly Father. Since when did our nation begin to tell us what we could or could not say? The United States of America was founded by godly men. These men gave everything they had to insure freedom in the future. They dreamed of a day when their great-great-great-great grandchildren would be able to have their own ideas and voice their own opinions.
Our nation was formed so everyone would have the opportunity to experience freedom. It’s funny that the people who rode in the Mayflower journeyed two thousand, seven hundred and fifty miles to be able to worship God without persecution. The main reason they left their country was to be able to come to a place where they could serve the Lord the way they pleased. Now hundreds of years later, we are being forced to remove every line or phrase with God in it. We are being forced to conform to a way that is not our own.
How is it fair that children can watch movies or television shows completely supporting immoral lifestyles but cannot say the line “one nation under God” in the pledge of allegiance? It is becoming more natural to hear a cuss word in a movie than to hear the word God. This is a testing time. As Christians, we must stay firm in our beliefs. We must take a stand before our freedoms slip away. It took one man to start the theory of evolution, it took one man to abolish slavery, it took one man to begin a war, it took one man to end a war, it took one man to save the world, and now we only need one man to save our freedoms. Stay firm. Stand up. Trust in God. Live Loud.
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it
Stands, one nation, under God,
Indivisible, with liberty and
Justice for all.
