11 Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. (1 Peter 2:11-12, NIV)

Our allegiance is not here. Not TRUE allegiance. We are to represent our “home” well. Our calling is to remember our ties are to another Kingdom.
