Every student in Singapore has to recite the following pledge every day.
As Christians, perhaps we should have a similar pledge to remind us too.
Below is the "Singapore Pledge"
We, the citizens of Singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language, or religion, to build a democratic society based on justice and equality so as to achieve happiness, prosperity, and progress for our nation.
There is a slogan too: "One people. One nation. One Singapore."
Propose The Church Version:
We, the citizens of Heaven and Children of our Father-God,
commits ourselves as one united body of Christ,
regardless of race, language, or religion /1
to build a victorious/2 community
based on Christ and His love
so as to bring forth Heaven on earth,/3
giving love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control
notes:
/1 Christianity is a relationship with God, not man created religion. It reaches people of different religious backgrounds.
/2 Victorious: free from sin, sickness, poverty,... empowered to love, good works, etc.
/3 His Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. It is of people's hearts and not a political kingdom.
