Kindred,

For the believers, our allegiance must first be to the Lord. 

Yes?  

Do you agree?

We are commanded to place the Lord above all else.  

Yet, there are those, especially the unholy, who would challenge this commandment, by having you place your allegiance unto an untrustworthy person, a false idol; 

And indulge in hate and grandiose power, delight in sinful lust and abuses, which are mere shadows of one's own fear and insecurities in human frailties and degradations.  

As Christians, we are taught not to fear (fear not in bible over 360 times) or hate, let alone succumb to them. 

1 John 4:18 – There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.

Therefore, beware of who you give your allegiance.  

Make certain that person has the Lord's approval in character, deeds and actions.  

For we cannot serve two masters and end up in the same place.
