Whats more important?

That is the question I find my self asking lately. What is more important? Jesus asked the rich young ruler that of all his doings and sacrifices he was missing one thing. And that was that he put his possessions before the Lord. There is nothing wrong with possessions as long as they don't posses you. Jesus told him to sale his possessions but yet he would not and left with much sorrow. Sometimes I wonder about some things we do because of our American values but yet our Christian Principles are not put first. As an example we are told not to put gas in certain companies such as Chevron and other Arab companies. And they are so vigilant about it but yet will go to movie houses, Casinos and other worldly amusements. The one thing I here is, I don't watch dirty movies, or go make bets, I just eat there. But yet what about Abstaining from all appearances of evil. If it represents Evil then a true Christian will leave it alone. I ask what is more important. I am a proud American, and love my country, and I hold true to American Values, But as far as being a Christian my Testimony is far more important, for this land is not my land, I am an Ambassador of a far away country. A far better country were my Lord Jesus is. This may not be a popular subject and I might be ridiculed for it, but it doesn't change truth. I would rather you hate me for saying truth than you loving me because of compromise. I know what is important. And I am aware that one day I will stand before the Lord to be judged for the good and the bad. The least bad the best. I ask you again, What is more important?
