Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake . . . For this is the will of God, that by doing good, you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men . . . as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bond servants of God. Honor ALL people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. HONOR the king. Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.( 1 Peter 2:13-18)Ok . . .I hear You Lord. But man, this can really be tough at times! In a world where our politicians and other authorities are not only unethical but even illegal at times, this is a very tough choice. However, obedience is always a tough choice if you think about it. Look at Dr. King. Look to Jesus. So in these turbulent times, choose obedience over what may be socially acceptable. Even in disagreement, we can be obedient and respectful . . .to God and authorities here on earth.
