God and Government

God sits above our politics. God and Government God sits above our politics.

God and Government Daniel said, “Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him. It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings;

God and Government He gives wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men of understanding. It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him. Daniel 2:20-22

God and Government Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

God and Government “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then He will speak to them in His wrath, and terrify them in His fury, saying,

God and Government “As for me, I have set My King on Zion, My holy hill.” Psalm 2:1-6

God sits above our politics. God cares about the government. God and Government God sits above our politics. God cares about the government.

God and Government [Government] is a minister of God to you for good…it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Romans 13:4

God and Government How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Vindicate the weak and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. Psalm 82:3-4

God and Government You shall not pervert the justice due to your needy brother in his dispute. Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty.

God and Government You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just. You shall not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger, for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt. Exodus 23:6-9

God and Government Pray for wisdom. Consult God’s Word. Give grace to those who disagree. Trust God with the results. Submit with joy.

God and Government Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

God and Government For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. 1 Peter 2:13-17

God and Government God sits above our politics. God cares about the government. God cares about everyday faithfulness (Luke 10; Acts 2:44-45).
