.: the God of the free :.

Recently I have been growing more and more uncomfortable with this phenomena of worshipping the concept of America. I have no problem with supporting the cause of freedom and fighting for that... but we should not be fighting to protect America as a regime. It is not about the USA - it is about people being free, and us working to liberate those who are not. When we are singing songs about this place called America, and not about how we are what we are by God's grace, we place our focus on a competing kingdom. Don't just sing about "the land of the free" - sing and worship the God who has worked to set us free! This is certainly not intended as a shot against our soldiers... but if they think that are only fighting for America - rather than what it ought to rightly stand for and represent (freedom and love) - they are fighting for a finite regime, one that continually turns its back on the One who liberated it first and foremost!
