While I have my person thoughts, and comments about the recent election of a new president this blog isn't for that purpose. What I did want to do here was post some scriptures from a lesson that the campus minister at our church pointed out last night in Wednesday night Bible class.
The minister pointed out that regardless of who we were for, what our postion politically speaking was (and still is), and how we might feel about the outcome of the election, we as Christians now have a specific role to play. This role is outline by God in His word.
I encourage you to take a second and look at these scriptures that he pointed out. See if you agree with his thoughts and lesson. I've given a short reason as to why he included the scripture in his lesson. After studying God's word, let me know what you think.
1 Timothy 2:1-2 -- Pray for those in authority (including the president)
Romans 13:1-7 -- Be in subjection to government, pay your taxes as your are suppose to, however do all of this only to the point where it doesn't break a commandment by God (where's that line at? Good question, your thoughts are welcome)
1 Thess 4:11-12 -- live a quite life
Philippians 3:17-20 -- our citizenship is ultimately in heaven with God. Our US citizenship is secondary to the citizenship in Heaven.
