You can imagine how I felt about the last 8 years. It is especially hard when someone posts a mocking meme on Facebook, I so want to "like" it at times, but that's not respecting our leadership. I don't even talk about them. <br /><br />From Romans 13, NKJV: <br />Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good.

The Bible is clear on that." Interesting I thought god was not a respector of persons. So why would we have to respect our leaders?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
