General Information about starting this honor

Honors are merits that are earned by performing tasks or special things by children or youth. This honor is about flags and how they interact with our society. I will explain what each section is and how it works with the honor.

National flags are patriotic symbols with widely varied interpretations that often include strong military associations because of their original and ongoing use for that purpose. Flags are also used in messaging, advertising, or for decorative purposes.

From Canada’s maple leaf to Turkey’s white star and crescent, every country’s flag is a representation of its people, values, and culture. Originating in Ancient China and the Indian Subcontinent, flags are known for more than just their intricate and beautiful designs. They play an important role in the development of a nation and its identity.

Flags are worship tools (like instruments, liturgy, or prophetic art) Waving the flag itself is a visual expression of worship. When done in a corporate worship setting, it should be done with the purpose of ushering others into the Presence of God. Flags can be used as a tool for warfare as well.

So lets get ready and celebrate as the people of the Lord said.

2 Chronicles 20:21-22

And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the Lord and praise him in holy attire, as they went before the army, and say, “Give thanks to the Lord, for his steadfast love endures forever.
