The Flag or the Cross?

We are supposed to be a people on mission for Jesus, but how often do we look at ourselves as others might look at us? There used to be a church billboard where we live that had the American flag as a backdrop. I wonder what a citizen of another country might think of that. What does that communicate? Does that mean that a foreigner to America who is interested in the Gospel must embrace America foreign policy? Economic policy? America’s rampant sexual immorality? And what does that communicate to American Christians? What does that do to the idea that we are first and foremost citizens of heaven? (Philippians 3:20). It is lethal to confuse the flag with the Cross.
