How often do we forget about it, tangled in fighting and pride of one nation being better than another one. How many wars could have been avoided if only the nominal Christianity were true one...
Patriotism is a good thing, but the foremost allegiance of a Christian is in Heaven - to his King sitting on the heavenly throne.
Nationalism is definitely a bad thing, a direct reason of conflicts and wars. People are equal. But, contrary to the worldly belief that they are equally good, we know that they are equally bad, dead in sin, and worth of the eternal condemnation. We are brothers in sin. Can our patriotism redeem us of it? Can out citizenship do the trick? Can the number of won wars make this nation better over that nation?
The only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ. He is the only Ruler we want to serve. Amen?

It is liberating to see all believers as part of one family. No matter where I travel in the world I can encounter those people who are of another kingdom.
Those who engage in nationalisum do not understand where their real home is.
So true, Mike, so true...
