God is NOT an American

So I was trying to figure out what to post up here this time. I had a couple of ideas, but then I read one of the other blogs I follow and the answer was revealed to me. It happens to be about a subject I have looked into before. Follow the link to read the blog by The unChurch, then make your way back here to finish mine (follow The unChurch if you like).

I agree with this 100%. God is not an American. We, as Americans, tend to think that He is. We like to think that He only cares about us and that's why our country is so much better than everyone else. Here's the thing, God is for all people of every nation. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God (Americans included) and Jesus died to pay all our debts (every other nationality included). As long as we put our focus on Him, He will take care of our needs, regardless of our nationality.

This is one of the things I like about Let's Start Talking. On a project, readers (native people) tend to be interested in American things at first, but the more they build a friendship with the worker (American), the more the conversations become about Jesus, and two people from different countries, often half way around the world from each other, can share one God, one Savior, and one Lord. He is everywhere, at all times, in all things. He has a kingdom all His own, and idea is to live in that kingdom, no matter where in this world we may live.
