According to my Itunes, this is by far one of the most played songs on my list. A King and a Kingdom is definitely one of my favorite songs off this Derek Webb's Mockingbird.Why? I truly believe this song is prophetic, it speaks directly into my life and so many other American Christians.
It's so easy to confuse faith with politic, especially as much as religious terms have been thrown around by both Democrats and Republics, especially thinking of the Bush administration.
Then I think of all the fourth of July and Memorial Day services I've been to in churches where this country was placed so high and possibly even glorified. Derek sings,
"my first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man
my first allegiance is not to democracy or blood
it’s to a king & a kingdom"
The church in America needs to capture what it means to live and be citizens in the Kingdom of God, and make that more important than any nation or politic.
If you don't own the album yet, get it free!
