Question of the Day – Where to Worship?
Meredith and I are trying to decide where to worship this coming Sunday. Should we go down to the courthouse and worship our great country or drive 30 minutes to the state capital to show our allegiance to Rome America?
All snarkyness aside, what should the attitude of citizens of the Kingdom of God be towards their place of temporal residence? I thank God that I live in such a libertine country, but I don’t want that to spill over into worship of the nation and slipping into placing my allegiance to the nation over the Kingdom.
How do you all construct and resolve this problem?

So, how do you see yourself? As a citizen, an immigrant, a tourist, an aid worker on a visa, a resident alien?
It is pretty simple for me. I have no allegiance to my country. I have one allegiance, and that is to the Kingdom of God.
I live here. I was lucky to be born in the the United States. But I do not worship this place, nor do I think that the Church should care what country it is in.
The Kingdom of God has NO nationalistic boundaries.
