We would probably be very disturbed to meet a Christian brother or sister who was passionately devoted to North Korea and fiercely prideful about their nationalism. At least, I would hope so. Yet, some of us see nothing wrong with mixing our Christian faith with our American nationalism. In fact, some not only see that as “normal,” they can hardly imagine what it would be like to follow Jesus without embracing the flag, revering the Constitution, and weeping as the band plays the Star-Spangled Banner.
