In this lesson, David explains how our “loves” can lead us towards good things, or to taking good things and making them idols. When it comes to our nation, a good love for our nation will result in patriotism, while an idolatrous love for our nation can lead to nationalism and its various forms, including Christian nationalism. In the Gospel, Jesus calls us not to leave or forsake our nations and the people in them, but to love his kingdom over the kingdoms of man.
