Crimson-Colored Mercy

Don’t ask me why He loved me so; I’ll never understand.

He picked me up and held me close with a gentle nail-scarred hand.

He suffered what was meant for me, and after all I put Him through,

“Forgiven” by Thomas Blackshear

He told His Father I was “worth the nails“!

It’s amazing, but it’s true!

With crimson-colored mercy, He washed away my shame.

Worthless and unworthy, a broken life He made brand new.

But before He changed a thing, He loved me anyway!

It’s amazing, but it’s true!

 

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8

 

 – adapted from “It’s Amazing, but It’s True,” by Anthony C. Baker

The Magnificent Fifty: Foundation of Faith (Missouri)

Jefferson City, Missouri (Artist: Susan Cassidy Wilhoit)

Missouri Constitution, Article I, Section 5 (1845)

That all men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship God…


Just think how different North Korea could be if this one, simple sentence could be a part of their constitution?

What makes America different? This! Freedom of …OF – not “from”… religion. Specifically, the right to worship God, not man.

Give the FFRF (Freedom From Religion Foundation) what they want and we’ll end up like every other dictatorial society whose people live in bondage. Because like Bob Dylan said,

Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

I’d rather serve God, than man.

Since through Divine Providence we enjoy the blessings of civil, political and religious liberty, we, the people of West Virginia reaffirm our faith and constant reliance upon God.


Let’s look at that again:

“…we, the people of West Virginia reaffirm our faith and constant reliance upon God.”

Sounds a lot like another embattled phrase, doesn’t it?
