Hello all! I don't know if any of you watched the Republican National Convention last week but it was very interesting. First thing I noticed was these people in pink shirts who would dart down through the stadium every fifteen minutes or so. You could feel their commitment to their cause by just watching them. Anyways, so as I heard John McCain finally speak he was interrupted every five minutes or so with the chant, "U.S.A." You didn't need to hear anymore to know these people were dedicated to their country...to their kingdom. This got me started thinking about how the country/kingdom we feel we belong to really does define us. These people were decked out in red, white, and blue. Some looked like Uncle Sam, there was even a man dressed up as Abraham Lincoln. I don't know about you but a lot of these people didn't look sane to me. However, they wanted to show their dedication and their commitment to their country...to their kingdom. How many of us get so caught up in this kingdom...in this life...that we think that we actually belong here? Hopwever, Paul says in Philippians 3:20 that our citizenship in heaven and Jesus spent a lot of time in his talks speaking about this Kingdom of God. Who do you belong to? It's not hard to tell. Think back to what all you did today...think back to your decisions, how you spent your time, what you spent most of your day thinking about, what you desire. This will be the greatest indicator of where our citizenship is. Are we stuck in this broken world, or are we searching for this kingdom Jesus spoke of and are we trying to enact it now? Where do your loyalties lie?
