Four Questions and a Funeral 1/4

The question about our life as citizens. If God’s reign competes with the reign of empire, where does our loyalty lie, and how are we meant to function as citizens in God’s reign? “Paying taxes” is one way to say, “But we live here; we have to get alone here; in what sense do we belong here?” This question is magnified in our context, as Christian nationalism is ascendant and we’re confused about how/whether to be patriotic, how/whether to try to influence the government, how/whether to participate in capitalism. How do we live *here* if God’s reign is *elsewhere*, metaphorically speaking?
