Moore to the Point by Russell D. Moore
I think this is an extremely needed message. I know among my friends there is a tendency to fall at either one of the two poles that Dr. Moore mentions. To be honest I have always needed clarity regarding my understanding of patriotism, particularly with respect to military service. Although he does not specifically address military service, it is something I have wrestled with most of my adult life. I am the only one of my siblings who is not a member of the Armed Services. I am grateful that he pointed out the idolatry that is lurking in nationalism as well as the Idolatry and (in my view) narcissism that can occur in the overreaction to Patriotism. Really I guess I should say that there is often a convolution of Patriotism and Nationalism. Which Dr. Moore aptly unfolds. Please listen.
