Hi! I figure since politics is in the air wondering if anyone has any recommendations on good reading material on how Christians are to be involved in politics but also that to be with a Biblical perspective. Seems that some Christians think that if we can just change laws that make all the difference whereas I see that heart change is the essential need of humanity. I know of Grudem's book entitled "Politics" which I highly recommend and he rightly points out that some Christians make politics too prominent and some Christian give politics too little prominence. I am mainly interested in how while we are to be good citizens our ultimate allegiance is to God and that while we are citizens of a particular country our ultimate citizenship is in Heaven. So what it means to have duel citizenship but that one is primary and the other is secondary. I am a bit concerned about the overly nationalistic overtones that I see in some of American Christianity, especially that a church needs to have an American flag in a sanctuary. I think this sends a mixed signal and a confusing message. Any recommendations?
