Praise and adoration belong to God — not to any nation! A Christian’s calling is to continually follow and obey the risen Jesus, not to get wrapped up in and focused on politics, current events, or entertainment.
Militaristic patriotism is the gruesome idol that requires human death sacrifices and slaughters multitudes. O that we humans would escape from its coldhearted cruelty and horrors.
If you truly believe that Jesus is alive, present, and active in the world, live every moment of your life like He is! Some people say that Christianity is about going to church. Others say it’s about going to Heaven. The Bible says it’s about growing from glory to glory into the image of Christ. (2 Corinthians 3:18)
Give to God what is God’s. (Mark 12:17) Always give Him your all in all — your radical and total love and obedience. (Mark 8:34)
Anytime
And anyplace
Can be your place
Of worship.
Always seek
God’s face.
Never let
Anything
Take the place
Of God
In your heart!
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
