I am really into this book we are using in bible class to read while studying the book of Acts,
its called The Flames Of Rome, if you don't have a copy, dude get one.
The Chapter that I read on how Christianity started and how hard it was for those disciples to spread the word was very intriguing, it told of Pauls house arrest in Rome for two years, and told of Christians meeting in houses to worship and spread the word, I cant put it down!
It tells of the very beginning of Christianity and how People were being beheaded because of a
new religious cult that wasn't approved by Rome.
This Book takes you back to the first century!
So Here we are today, we can freely for the most part, speak, worship, pray, etc.. Without getting beheaded, But do we have the same passion as those 2000 years ago?
I think we as a Church at Newsong are going in the right direction as are many other Churches, Praise God!
But If we didn't have the freedom, like those of the first century, would we still be Passionate about our religion?
Even to Death?
Thank you Pastor Hawkins for opening my mind with this exciting book!
Thank you God for Pastor Hawkins!

I Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb
Words and Music: Ray Boltz
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength
With all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
I have heard how Christians long ago
Were brought before a tyrant’s throne
They were told that he would spare their lives
If they would renounce the name of Christ
But one by one they chose to die
The Son of God they would not deny
Like a great angelic choir sings
I can almost hear their voices ring
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength
With all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
Now the years have come and the years have gone
And the cause of Jesus still goes on
Now our time has come to count the cost
To reject this world, to embrace the Cross
And one by one let us live our lives
For the One who died to give us life
Till the trumpet sounds on the final day
Let us proudly stand and boldly say
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength
With all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
To the Lamb of God who bore my pain
Who took my place who wore my shame
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
With all my strength
With all I am
I will seek to honor His commands
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
Great thoughts, Jay!
