Not a Citizen of the World

Did you catch Newt Gindrich’s emphatic declaration at the …. He made a big point of saying: “I am NOT a citizen of the world.”

By which he meant in the strongest possible terms that he was, in fact, a citizen of the United States of America.

He went on to say: “I think the entire concept is intellectual nonsense and stunningly dangerous!"

What a great opportunity for Christians everywhere to agree with the former speaker of the House of Representatives, TIME’s “Man of the Year” (1995) and architect of the erstwhile “Contract With America”!

I am NOT a citizen of the world. I am a citizen of another world. Check it out. Hebrews 11.

Here we could talk about what that means exactly.

Then we could discuss the obvious reality that our feet are planted on terra firma somewhere. So, while not a citizen of the world, I am certainly a resident of the world.

So there you go. A full blown sermon, thanks to Newt.

Thanks, Newt!

I find nothing wrong with an American Flag in a place of worship. we are one of the first nations in the world to allow freedom of religion and the pledge to our flag includes the words "under god".
