i think the order might possibly need to be:
country
god
family
...when there is a country worth saving and fighting for, that is.
If you can’t live in your own country with certain necessary freedoms, then how the hell does god or family get any of your attention? There are times when you better put your relatives and your preacher on the back burner and do what needs to be done so that your relatives and your preacher can once again be your most important thing in life.
However, if you decide the situation is so horrible that there is no possibility of victory, then you pull back into a shell and settle for preacher and relatives and wait for your chance to strike out to make things right once again.
A Christian must ALWAYS put God first because the other 2 can’t happen without His guidance and heeding His word.

It is a matter of proper order. God must be first in your life, then family, then community. Reversing this order makes government god.
- If you cant live in your own country with certain necessary freedoms, then how the hell does god or family get any of your attention?
If God isn’t first on the list, nothing else is going to make a damn bit of difference in the long run.
Your Creator should never be anywhere but first.
