Want to make America GREAT again?
Want to RESIST all things Trumpish?
Is one right and the other wrong?
WWJD?
This one doesn’t take lots of prayer and intercession to find the answer. Check that Bible out, folks!
“First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.” [1 Tim 2:1-3]
Our rulers don’t need to be saints: whoever they are: pray and thank God for them!
“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.” …Render to all what is due them…. Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. [Ro 13:1-2, 7-8]
Rebellion against authority: not a good idea.
Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. [Titus 3:1-3]
That last verse sound like our media today: let us pray they get the real picture!
Today, why not practice Paul’s words? I bet you’ll get your joy back in no time!
