Sunday morning. Today we will finish the last part of the God and Government sermon series in church. I’m quite excited about the message today. The past few weeks’ messages were very challenging and my expectations for what God is going to reveal today is high. (more…)
October 22nd, 2009 Jojo Agot How do we feel about our national leaders? I know that this is a sticky issue to blog about but I won’t be writing about politics so before you click your mouse away, read on. This is still a devotional blog.
I’m writing about Romans 13: 5, 7.
“It is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.”
“Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.”
I love the way conscience and respect are put together in a chapter on politics for Christians. The Bible didn’t give us conditions on what kinds of leaders to respect. The command is just there for all of us to ponder on (and obey). In the days when bashing our presidents is as normal as pancakes in the morning, the word of God confronts us.
