Romans 13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
13 Every [a]person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except [b]from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2 Therefore [c]whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. 3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for [d]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. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. 7 Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
1 Peter 2:13-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent [a]by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. 15 For [b]such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. 16 Act as free men, and [c]do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. 17 Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the [d]king.
I really like my other workout knife, but a) I need to have diversity b) The new one is significantly lighter...I also needed new work shoes which I also can workout in, because with 50 miles of walking a week at work the old ones have holes and work, neither the company I work for or the multi-billion dollar corp. host will pay for my shoes...

The elderly priest speaking to the younger priest, ''You had a good idea to replace the first four pews with plush bucket theatre seats. It worked like a charm. The front of the church always fills first now.''
ReplyDeleteThe young priest nodded, and the old priest continued, ''And you told me adding a little beat to the music would bring young people back to church, so I let you bring in that rock 'n roll gospel choir. Now our services are consistently packed to the balcony.''
''Thank you, Father,'' answered the young priest. ''I am pleased you are open to the new ideas of youth.''
''All of these ideas have been well and good,'' said the elderly priest, ''but I'm afraid you've gone too far with the drive-thru confessional.''
''But, Father,'' protested the young priest, ''my confessions and the donations have nearly doubled since I began that!''
''Yes,'' replied the elderly priest, ''and I appreciate that. But the flashing neon sign, 'Toot 'n Tell, or Go to Hell' cannot stay on the church roof.
Those are pretty serious blades sir!

That "Toot 'n Tell" story might have been true in a bygone era, definitely not nowadays...
ReplyDeleteEspecially in the Greater Vancouver area, with every passing year, being a Christian makes one seem more like an alien.
National Post did an article on the dangers of being a Christian in today's world.

What galaxy you from?
'There are many reasons why it is hard to see Christians as the world’s most aggrieved victims: there are 2.2. billion Christians worldwide, far too numerous to be vulnerable; Christians themselves, rightly or wrongly, are still perceived as history’s great persecutors.'
ReplyDeleteBe Biblical more so than political...(clue).
Hello my family member! I want to say that this article is amazing, great written and come with almost all significant infos.
ReplyDeleteI would like to peer more posts like this .
Saw again (over the years) Swan Song from Columbo 1973 with Johnny Cash.
ReplyDeleteI realize cash was a devout Christian and the Christian cult like portrayed for which he murdered his female partners was interesting. He wants to basically dump his older 'hag' wife that is blackmailing him for having sex with the other woman that was underage at one point. Both women now sided vs. him. He kills them and seeks to move on but the police and his conscience catch up.
The dangers of a somewhat phony faith. The dangers of marriage for wrong reasons, the dangers of underage fornication and all fornication and of course the danger and evil of murder showed.

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like.
ReplyDelete"We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in.
At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
