Jesus teaches us to balance our faith and citizenship through His response to the Pharisees' tax question: 'Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.' As Christians in America, we have obligations to our government including paying taxes and obeying laws, but our primary citizenship is in heaven. While these authorities are distinct, God's authority is always higher. We must live with Jesus first, fulfilling our earthly responsibilities while fully surrendering to God. Only through revival and awakening, when followers of Jesus get serious about their faith, can healing come to our broken nation.
