The Most Important Citizenship in the World

I have two citizenships, one for the United States and the other for Heaven. One citizenship is temporary; the other is forever.

The United States and all countries worldwide are temporary and greatly flawed. They all need much supernatural healing and transformation. They need to be made great in love, justice, humility, and righteousness so that they can begin to reflect the beauty and reality of the truly great and never-ending government–the kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God is eternal, and countries are temporary. I believe that when the Christian flag and a country’s flag are flown together the Christian flag should always be flown above the country’s flag.

The nationalism of the kingdom of God embraces all people with love, kindness, forgiveness, and mercy. It welcomes everyone who wants to come to live under and submit to the presence, authority, and government of the living God who tenderly calls all people to align with His will as He speaks in and to their soul. “Come unto Me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Christianity isn’t about politics, sermons, or discussion topics. It’s about “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” “Fan into flame the gift of God which is in you.” When Christians lose sight of Christ’s inspiring insights they get caught up in rules, regulations, and organizational structures.

Spend (all your) time with God. Let no moment pass without being aware of His presence. Open the floodgates within you and let Christ continually pour forth from your heart.

Christ-followers, beware of quick accusers. Cheaters quickly accuse people of cheating. Liars rapidly call people liars. Crooked people rush to label people crooked.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
