Voting Biblical Values … How do I chose in confusing Times? Romans 13:1-7

Politics all impacting sphere of human activity… “Election’s do have consequences.” Abraham Kuyper, “There is not one inch of creation about which Jesus Christ does not say, “That is mine!”

Ravi Zacharias 1.Vote for leader who holds most closely to Biblical Values…. 2.Vote for the candidate who will preserve religious liberty… 3.Vote for the candidate or party who will preserve freedoms of the people…

Romans 13:1-7 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.

Romans 13:4-7 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.

A High view of governing authority Romans 13:1 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.
