08/30/18 MOUTH OUT OF GEAR WITH REALITY
Beware of those who require public, verbal, unconditional allegiance to a nation, but they serve a higher Authority than the State.
WHY THIS POST
I am not saying that such a person is not a Christian. In fact, he/she may be a very exemplary Christian, which is why we must BEWARE. Sometimes there are well meaning believers who say things that sound right, but actually are in conflict with Biblical truth.
The only Person, Ruler that we should make total commitment to and that we should serve without limit, is the God of the Bible, Who gave His Only Begotten Son as the Sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.
A well meaning person may say something that calls for total commitment to a nation (as a pledge of unrestricted loyalty), while that person actually does not make such a commitment in his/her heart, because he knows that only God should receive such devotion. It is better to guide our beliefs and our actions based on what the word of God says. Always study the word.
