The Real Flag Flap
July 5, 2015
Two churches in North Carolina have begun flying the Christian flag above the U.S. flag. One of them has this “God before Government” website. I, of course, think this is a great idea if you are going to fly these flags. But a better idea would be to not fly either one. Although it seems harmless, flying the Christian flag at a church is not biblical since there is no such thing as the Christian flag. And flying the same flag at a church that is flown by U.S. troops fighting unjust wars is infinitely worse.
