This year as we approach July 4, I think of the Ken Medema song “I See America.”
Bring patriotic is not blindly following leadership, white nationalism, or “America First” mentality … none of that. It’s real. It’s honest, seeing the good and the bad in our country.
This is what it means to be patriotic as a Christian. In his words, “I see America through the eyes of love and long for all her people to be free. And if you see, put your hand to the job, there’s work that must be done, ‘til freedom’s song is sung from sea to sea.”
Have a listen.
