Yes, America, I love you...but not like that. Not in the way of supreme allegiance and unquestioned devotion. You see, my heart belongs to another. I’m a Christian and I confess that Jesus is Lord. The Savior of the world is the crucified and risen Son of God, not “We the People.” The gospel is the story of Jesus, not the American story. I know your sixteenth President claimed that America was “the last best hope of earth” and nearly every president since has echoed this creed, but it’s simply not true. The last best hope of earth is Jesus, not you.
