A Christian husband is first a Christian, then a husband.
A Christian American is first a Christian, then an American.
Does this make the man unloving? Quite the contrary—surely, it leads him to be a better father (even more of a father), a better husband (even more of a husband).
One identity is not forfeited for the other.
Does this make the man unpatriotic? I do not believe so, though no doubt many would disagree...
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
[Matthew 5:10-11]
...our citizenship is in heaven...
