Christian Nationalism: The Cross and The Flag

Every day, followers of Christ face various challenges in a culture that is increasingly hostile to our faith. While our citizenship is indeed in Heaven, we have responsibilities and work to do in the time and place God has placed us. (Ephesians 2:10) Our faith is not meant to be confined within the walls of our churches and homes. Our Christian witness should be lived out in every sphere of life, including the political arena.

Recently, the phrase “Christian Nationalism” has been in the headlines. Left-wing political activists and corporate media types want us to regard Bible-believing people as extremists (and even racists). To think that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, and, therefore, should remain a Christian nation today and in the future, is a ridiculous notion in their eyes. Yes, they unwittingly denigrate and disparage Jesus’ instructions in Matthew 28:16-20 to “make disciples of all the nations… teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” (also known as The Great Commission).
