"We may have to ask ourselves if we've over-identified with political alignments, parties, and leaders, and then re-align ourselves with the Kingdom of God."

Often, Christians think God's blessing on America as a nation depends on whether the right political party is in control, whether the right policies are enacted and whether the right laws are established. At the end of the day, however, Jesus makes it clear that nations will not be judged _as_ nations, but individuals within the nation will be evaluated on how well they treat those who are poor, sick, hungry, incarcerated or immigrants.
