This week I am working through Psalm 3, David's lament psalm over his flight from Jerusalem when Absalom committed treason. As David crossed over the Brook Kidron in flight and despair from his enemies, so this psalm anticipates the Christ who would cross over Kidron toward his enemies. Through the cross-event, Christ would destroy him who had the power of death, releasing his oppressed sheep from such fear and giving them a place in his kingdom under the rod of his rule. What a psalm is psalm 3!

Dual Citizens: Worship and Life Between the Already and the Not Yet

My good friend Jason Stellman has written a new book on the Christian's dual citizenship. Get the book--here is the link. Here is the write-up from Ligonier,

The saints of old "acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth" (Hebrews 11:13b). This is no less true for Christians today; as Paul writes, "Our citizenship is in heaven" (Philippians 3:20a). But though we are on the road to that homeland, we are not there yet.

It is from this understanding of Christians as pilgrims--wayfaring strangers on the road to their true home but living in the meantime in a foreign land--that Rev. Jason J. Stellman has written Dual Citizens: Worship and Life Between the Already and the Not Yet.

Stellman wrestles with the implications of the Christian's dual citizenship in the kingdom of God and the kingdom of man, showing that the great challenge for believers today is maintaining their distinctiveness as redeemed people. Believers are free to participate in culture (though the Bible guides the way they participate), but they must not so immerse themselves in it that they obscure their true identities.

Dual Citizens is a call for believers to see the present from the standpoint of the future, for doing so will enable them to see their lives, with all their trials and triumphs, as part of God's great unfolding story.
Endorsements
"The subject of Christ and culture has never been as popular among conservative Protestants in the United States as it is today, and the topic has never needed as much attention from the perspective of the church. It gets that attention in this important book by Jason Stellman. Dual Citizens will certainly upset those used to thinking of Christ as mainly the transformer of culture. But for genuine wisdom not only on the culture wars, but on the culture, ways, and habits of the church, Stellman's discussion is the place to go."

"For too long I struggled to recommend reading on the subject of living the Christian life as a 'resident alien.' Often I was reduced to directing readers to liberal Methodists (such as Hauerwas and Willimon) as the best embodiment of Christian convictions. At last I can point to practice that is firmly grounded in Reformed theology. Dual Citizens is written by someone who loves the world: its movies, its music, and its authors. But this is a rightly ordered love because it is a penultimate love. Here is a robust pilgrim theology that marches on to Zion while avoiding the pitfalls of asceticism and legalism. By putting earthly kingdoms in their proper place, Pastor Stellman demonstrates how rightly to use the present world even as one eagerly awaits the next."
