Best of the week entry 3

Is a timely reminder for us this weekend as Christians blur the distinction between patriotism and Christianity, between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of the world. The essay is not a new one but The Protestant Church in Hitler's Germany and the Barmen Declaration deals with the subject of the church coming under the sway of Nazism during the reign of Hitler. Can't happen here? Think again. This should serve as a reminder to us that we are not "American-Christians" we are Christians who live in America.
