Under what Flag do you March? is a Christian tract that bears on our society, the telling and living of truth or living lies, moral impurities instead.
Under what Flag do you March? Many people out there in the world supposedly are champions of the truth and good, but their actions make that conclusion rather hard to accept. They lie, cheat, steal, and break the laws of God left and right. But they are “good” supposedly, or so they keep telling us. Let’s turn to Scripture and see a little bit about what God says about the truth and lies.
Psalms 60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth.
God has given his children a banner of truth to fly over them so as to identify them to other Christians and for the world in general. But while a banner identifies the character of the people associating under that banner, we have to examine if the truth is in what people say and do, and not just accept others’ word for themselves that they are good and representing the truth. What they represent is the “truth” that they are deceived into believing, but it is not the truth of God. The facts of life do not line up between what they believe is the truth. If we are in the right, in truth and good, the we should be examples of that truth we espouse.
Psalms 119: 142 Your righteousness is eternal righteousness, and your law (is) truth.
In other words, the law of your life is truth. The concept of a law is a principle that is obeyed rigorously.
Those Representing Truth actually practice the Truth
1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
The Bible proposes that if one is saved, then he walks in the light, that is, he has a life that reflects this communion with God. In this case, the saved “practice the truth“, otherwise, we live without demonstrating “the truth of God” (spiritual principles that please God), and then, John says that “we lie.” The lie is how we live. The principles of the devil are seen more favorably in your life than the principles of God. Which one best describes your life? Do you currently live the truth, or do you live the lie?

My Tracts on Church Attendance The first and foremost reason to go to church is because God commands us to do so (Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.).
Coming in behind that direct command of God, we go to church in order to worship God Himself. How? Simple. We hear the Word of God actually read and carefully explained, and then we assimilate those principles y exhortations into our personal lives, and that is worship. Without those elements, there is no worship, and there is no success at "going to church." It is fruitless spiritually, and without spiritual benefit to your life, you will get discouraged and stop going, stop being committed to it, and it will ruin your life because you are a hypocrite.
