Reading – 1 John 5

Highlight Verse:

“Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Today I wear a T-shirt that says, “I stand at the flag and kneel at the cross.”

I am a patriotic person.

I love the United States of America.

I believe in the constitution, the freedoms it defends, and the inalienable rights of all US citizens.

And, in the language of the constitution, I believe that we are endowed by our Creator with those rights.

I respect our flag, our military, and our means of government.

But I worship only God!

In what ways have you learned to balance respect for our country and worship of God?
What other ways do you see this verse applying to our lives?
