Kingdom Confusion

Some of you may have heard of U. S. House Resolution 397 which designates the first week in May as “American Spiritual Heritage Week.” You can learn more about it here. I would propose a somewhat different resolution that might read as follows:

WHEREAS, Christians, just as all other Americans of religious or irreligious persuasions, shall actively participate in government as good citizens;

WHEREAS, although Christians shall be good citizens, they shall stop confusing the kingdom of God with the kingdom of man;

WHEREAS, Christians shall put down the sword and trust only in the power of the Gospel, and His sovereign hand, to bring about the fullness of His kingdom in His time;

I could go on, but I think you get the picture.
