“Stop affirming sin!” Ok… *deep breath*: Hoarding wealth is sin. Rejecting the refuge is sin. Racism & bigotry is sin. Dehumanizing people is sin. Nationalism is sin. Misogyny is sin. War is sin. Bombing anyone is evil (& sin). Pledging allegiance to a flag is sin.

If you have a flag 🇺🇸 at the front of your church, & you want to know if it’s an idol to people… …take it down this Sunday before worship & see how people respond. Because the 🇺🇸 flag is a powerful idol of the 🇺🇸 Empire faith that uses a distorted Jesus as a mascot.
