You Cannot Serve God and Country.
Happy Fourth. I hear it's a big one.
Just a friendly reminder:
No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and [country].
Matthew 6 (BSB)
My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.
John 18 (BSB)
America is not the Kingdom of God. Choose which one you will serve.
But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your [founding] fathers served beyond the [Atlantic], or the gods of the [Americans] in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!
Joshua 24
You are Love.
