Few things as annoying as a preacher insinuating on a patriotic holiday that love of country and a desire to defeat tyrants is idolatry and un-Christlike.

It would only be so if you had no regard for the will of God in these pursuits. Our founders (most of them) believed in no king but “King Jesus.” We shine in this world because we protect the dignity of man. The founders enshrined the rights they believed came from God because created people have dignity and are therefore afforded rights from God.

Yes, God orchestrates those who rule on the earth but also commands us to act in accordance with his will. When you pray “thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven” then you are working to bring his Kingdom here. Read Psalm 97:2 - it says justice and righteousness are the foundation of God’s throne.

Check your hearts and minds to ensure you are engaging in your political and civil duties pursuant to God’s will and you need not feel guilt over caring so much. Fighting against human trafficking, abortion, and willful defiance of the created order in the face of much persecution is a badge of honor.

FYI- almost every preacher preaching a message brow beating Americans for being angry at the events of the past decade, the election, or the direction of this country will be cooking out and shooting fireworks tonight. Celebrating what? A rebellion against tyrants and the establishment of a new form of government?

Rant complete! Have a blessed day.
