We may not even be aware how our attitudes about the flag and its display in houses of worship conflates our faith with our positive feelings about the country.  One of the ways we can assess our own hearts on this issue comes when we consider what happens when we relocate the flag or remove it altogether.  In this episode, we examine how the flag becomes commingled with our Christian faith, often representing a belief that God has blessed the United States in a way that He has not blessed other countries.  Even a majority of pastors believe that patriotic elements should be incorporated into the worship services on certain holiday weekends, while those same pastors report that their congregations sometimes love the country more than they love God. We ask whether American Christians have a unique fondness of flags and pledges, creating new ways to praise Christians flags and the Bible, and how these well-intentioned but misplaced allegiances can take us from the person of Jesus.
