The right people need to be in office not the wrong people

The right people need to be in office not the wrong people
1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4 For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.

6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Romans 13:1-13:7

If we need to live by the right laws of our government we must vote for the right people. We as Christians need to evaluate the persons running for office by looking at if they are gay or atheist and how are they going to help us.I'm sorry for stepping on toes but if we must live by the laws of the government, God must be in it.We have to obey God's laws to establish the right government.

Human Government is Ordained by God For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

God has established three institutions( home ¡ church ¡ government) ordained means originated from God. His idea.

a. But what if a government is bad? Paul was writing this statement under a new edict that made Christianity illegal, a new Caesar named Nero in power. Jesus had been crucified by this same government. Homosexuality was rampant among Rome¡¦s leaders.
b. Governing authorities is literally powers that be. It is more than just Presidents or Congress but all who are in positions of authority. Even respect for the dog-catcher
(2) Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God: and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.
c. What kind of Government is God's kind? Paul wrote under a Roman rule but made no distinction of kind.

Best kind a monarchy? Oligarchy?(few rule) republic?
Democracy? Rome had been a monarchy, a republic, a principate, and now was an Empire under Emperor rule.

1) Point to not miss: God has the ability to accomplish His will in spite of and even through less than godly rulers. Dan 2:21 ¡He removeth kings and setteth up kings
a) Rom 9:17 ¡for this very purpose I raised you up to demonstrate My power in you, and that My Name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth. Allowed a wicked man like Pharoah to power that His will might be accomplished.
God has brought into being differing forms of government depending on that which is best for that time and place in history.
a) Rome and Greek were not our kinds of governments but accomplished much for the purpose of reaching this world for Christ.
1) Roman roads, pax romana, Greek language & culture

Vote for the right ones to rule our government, I still don't know how Houston,Tx end up voting for a lesbian mayor, where were our Christians?

For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; (4) for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

TO RESTRAIN EVIL But if you do what is evil be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing.
a. Governments have a God-given right to punish evil. They also have the responsibility to. Whoever caudles a criminal shows cruelty to a community.

If we vote for gays and atheist into office then we must be afraid of the government, because there will be a change on how we live. We must stay prayed up and look at everything about that person so we will not be afraid of the future.

Christian duties to government.
a. Pay for it Render all what is due them; tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom;
1) You may not like how much you are taxed but you cannot argue with the principle of taxation. Government must build roads, sewers, bridges, must provide armies, fire protection, city halls, policemen.
Government is in trouble when half the people get the idea that they don¡¦t have to work because the other half will take care of them and the other half feels it does no good to work because so much of what they earn is taken away from them.

FRANCE FELL WHEN the people saw the cow to be milked instead of a watchdog to be fed.

2) Jesus paid His taxes ¡¥lest their be offense¡¦ He also said to ¡¥Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar¡¦s¡¦
b. Pray for it 1 Tim 2:1-3 First of all I urge that ¡K.pray for all who are in authority that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and tranquility¡¦ Don¡¦t think we have been praying enough looking at Florida
c. Praise it honor to whom honor is due
1) Walk up to a policeman this week and say ¡¥thank you¡¦. Read about a child saved in a fire and find a fireman and say ¡¥you people are truly heroes, think about all your freedoms and find a serviceman or veteran and say, ¡¥God bless you¡¦.
d. Participate in it
1) Render unto Caesar not just your tax dollar but your vote, your voice, your volition(will). Be informed and become active. Get involved because the climate we live under effects our nation for the cause of Christ.

So stay prayed up and obvey your government that is good in the name of God but if evil pray for God to make a change in the office. Amen
