about

Nationalism is idolatry, and it has reared it's ugly head in the church over the last few years. Too many Christians are concerned with maintaining a status quo that does more harm than good while also fighting to impose their righteous beliefs on others. We as Christians do not need to be idolizing presidents and politicians and looking to them to change this country. We are called to love our neighbor, not force our neighbors to believe as we do.

lyrics

This all started in the 1970s with rise of the moral majority.
It's okay to have a problem with your country but this country is not a theocracy.

The false Shepard so easily manipulates.

What's it say about you that you need the threat if hell to keep you from sinning?
Trigger finger itching for a new civil war, but who would you be fighting for?

Your moral compass
It needs some calibration
The next crusades won't be in God's name.

You call yourself a Christian but you worship the flag.
The president is your new golden calf.
You call yourself a Christian but where lies your allegiance?
You're not a Christian you're a nationalist.

God gives us free will yet you seek control do you deserve to wield more power?
This new world order that you're fighting so hard for does it glorify God or simply alienate?

What's the appeal
When the end is totalitarianism
And the means is following blindly?
