Very interesting, and one of several cross currents we get caught up in regarding service to God / service to country.
BTW, I am 100% in your camp on this. But it does remind me of Ann Coulter’s rant against missionaries abroad, especially Africa. Here she is guilty of the same thing “barefoot” was guilty of, only in reverse. Coulter derided those who served God outside of the country. That is just as bad as those Christians like barefoot who criticized you, and often criticize those in the political debate.
And then there’s the “social issues” only Christians, many on FR, who deride those who like to focus on liberty and taxes and regulations as “worshipping mammon over God” - which is more witchcraft.
Anyway, thanks for posting.
Thank you, Mr. Wright.
