Power Politics

To what do we bend our knee, lower our head, or give our obedience? It’s tough for us in a free democratic society to consider the issues of Power, Authority, Obedience, Submission and Trust. We quickly turn to the exceptions with a list of questions: can the rules be changed, ignored, amended? Who can make rules for me? What are our rights... and by rights we mean the freedom to run our own lives without interference. We prize independence. It comes as a surprise to the free and democratic citizen who has decided to follow God that He influences the world and our city through his appointments and requirements. Today, we will learn what it means in God's eyes to be good citizens of our nation while we are good followers of Jesus.
