Politics & Discipleship: Allegiance to America or King Jesus?

How should Christians approach politics as citizens of God’s kingdom?   As Christians we are citizens of heaven and the kingdom of God, but this is a physical reality here on earth. Christ’s kingdom is not only spiritual or imaginary.  So, as Christians should we participate in the Kingdoms of this world?    Ultimately our allegiance is to the Lamb. He calls us to come out of Her (Babylon) in revelation and follow the slaughtered lamb into the new creation by following his way of living… a non-violent, self-giving, cross shaped existence of love.   Worldly Empires will always be empires and act like empires. We are called to live as part of a different kingdom and as exiles here. so… Seek the best for America, vote if you must, pray for our leaders, be good citizens, pay your taxes, but pledge your allegiance to only King Jesus and stay out of politics if possible, it only distracts from our marching orders given by our King.
