Flag Day

Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong. ((James Bryce, 19th-20th century British academic)

Flags may be flown on schools, office buildings, and homes today to pay tribute to the wonderful country we live in. We are grateful for those who defended the flag, and we honor this symbol of our freedoms and rights. But, as Bryce has observed, our loyalty could best be expressed in righteous living that will strengthen our nation.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. (Psalm33:12).
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people (Proverbs 14:34).
