"The authorities that exist, are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves." Romans 13:1. God's orders for government are principled. The people who fill worldwide governments, are not always principled, according to God's principles. The Bible covers world governments as well as America's government! Sin is sin."For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17. The Bible tells of all, that is currently taking place today and what to do about it! Romans 12 and 13 gives us alot of pointers, as to what we are to be about doing. For me, ways of practicing Savior Behavior, is almost, shouting to me. Things like practicing His goodness with all. Praying faith, wisdom, knowledge and kindness into our leaders, pastors and teachers. It's His kindness that leads all to repentance, after which revival breaks out! The godless are peddling fear, war and destruction. The godly stand against all fear, in saving grace, spreading the gospel in full faith. We've got much to do. We're no one's victims! Our victory has already been won at the cross. Many persecuted Christians in the middle east and elsewhere, prove Him, His love for all and His majestic, saving ways, as they face execution, torture and worse. They sing of Him, in the face of sin. They pray forgiveness, for their executioners. Today, blessed by our current peace and safety, may we, take note of the persecuted church, PARTNER IN THEIR SUFFERING by prayer, and decide relentlessly, to obey Him.
