Every July 4 holiday the Evangelical elites pop on their blogs, Twitter and Facebook to tell you how evil America is, how loving your country is idolatry and scold churches for singing patriotic hymns. Ignore them. Patriotism is godly. Loving your country isn’t a sin. And it is good to sing thanksgivings to God for our liberty.
As Christians we live in two kingdoms. We are citizens of a spiritual kingdom. We are citizens of the temporal kingdom. For us here, that temporal kingdom is America.
We have duties to both.
Nations are part of God’s plan.
