John Adams on "allegiance"...

A free country is a wonderful thing to have, but it should never be our first allegiance as Christians. We have a greater purpose, and a higher calling. We are instructed to be in the world but not of it, to be Christians before we are Americans.
Christ is our first love and the church is what He really cares about. To care about the nation you were born into more than the Savior whose blood redeemed you and the church to which you were called insults both Christ and His bride.
Good thoughts, John.

Awesome excerpts — reminds me of Stanley Hauerwas talking about how he had stopped saying the Pledge and singing the national anthem because he has one allegiance…Interesting contrast to what we see surrounding us in this political season where the flag and God/Jesus are apparently in the same category.
