After The Fireworks Fade

Don Truex

July 12, 2026

Description: Don Truex reflects on life in the days after a national celebration fades, asking what it looks like for a Christ follower to carry two citizenships at once, one earthly and one heavenly. Working through Philippians 3:20, Romans 13, Matthew 22, 1 Timothy 2, and Hebrews 11, he calls believers to honor their nation without ever confusing it with the kingdom of God, to pray for their country more than they criticize it, and to influence their culture through simple decency, honest work, and an enduring hope in a better country still to come.
