Welcome to the God Before Government website. If there was ever a time when people need to stand up for traditional values and beliefs, it is now. On Sunday July, 5th, Elizabeth Baptist Church in Shelby, NC took its stand with a flag raising ceremony that displayed the Christian flag over the American flag. This new approach to flag etiquette symbolizes that our service and commitment to God is greater than our service and commitment to government–especially a government that coerces us to violate our commitments to God. We will post a video of this service soon after the event. Also, encourage your pastor and church leaders to do the same and start flying the flags in such a manner that it is clear we will serve God before government. If your church is willing to join ours, please take a picture of the flag pole at your church, post it on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter using the hashtag #GodBeforeGovernment, and join the conversation about religious freedom and the role of government in modern society. Acts 5:29b

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

2 Honor thy father and mother which is the first commandment with promise)

3 That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on earth.

4 And ye, fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in instruction and information of the Lord.

5 Servants, be obedient unto them that are your masters, according to the flesh, with fear and trembling in singleness of your hearts, as unto Christ,

6 Not with service to the eye, as men pleasers, but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

7 With good will, serving the Lord, and not men.

8 And know ye that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, that same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free,

9 And ye masters, do the same things unto them, putting away threatening: and know that even your master also is in heaven, neither is there respect of person with him.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaults of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places.

13 For this cause take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and having finished all things, stand fast.

14 Stand therefore, and your loins girded about with verity, and having on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.

16 Above all, take the shield of Faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked,

17 And take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray always with all manner prayer and supplication in the spirit: and watch thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints,

19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to publish the secret of the Gospel,

20 Whereof I am the ambassador in bonds, that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 But that ye may also know mine affairs, and what I do, Tychicus my dear brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall show you of all things.

22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know mine affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

23 Peace be with the brethren, and love with faith from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

24 Grace be with all them which love our Lord Jesus Christ, to their immortality, Amen.

Most of us have witnessed an overall spiritual and moral decline in America in our lifetime. This decline seems to be moving more rapidly than any of us would have dreamed. We are warned about this in the Bible. And yes, many prophecies have come true and are coming true before our very eyes. My question and curiosity is this: Are you prepared or are you in the process of preparing and what are some of the measures you are taking ? I know many of us pray regularly alone and in groups, some of us are outspoken, some of us contribute time and money, some of us mentor or teach, stockpile weapons, food, medicines, survival equipment and even build underground shelters. Some of us have already moved to friendlier Christian countries in Central and South America or have looked into this. I was hoping some of you would share some wisdom, advice or personal experience or options available to those of us who are concerned as to what we can or should do in these " certain " times. Thank you. I am going to take my morning nap but shall return. Moses, I mean Rufus.

If "most of us" were there for the signing of the Declaration of Independence, then we started in moral decline, and most of us were not represented in freedom by it. Few, if any, cried moral decline at our treatment of the indigenous natives or neglect of workers or confiscating a large portion of Mexico. Or slavery and a hundred years of lynchings, Jim Crow Laws, segregation, and anti-interracial marriage. Nope, no decline there; business as usual. The Viet Nam Conflict and Iraq? High moral points?

America is deeply, deeply flawed--yet like no other nation ever in history it can work to heal its wounds and strives to do so. No moral decline, people as usual is all.
