"So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that as long as the sky remains above the earth, you and your children may flourish in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors. "Be careful to obey all these commands I am giving you. Show love to the LORD your God by walking in His ways and holding tightly to Him.
What land? Not the USA; it is not a theocracy. However, the Kingdom of Heaven is! Obedience does not buy citizenship; that is the free gift from the Lord, God the Almighty. However, obedience/conformance to the Word of God does insure the righteousness, peace and joy that is life in the Kingdom of Heaven in the here and now.
