Our duty to God and Country (Part II)

-



Romans 13:6-7

In our attitude toward Government we have to be supportive even if we do not agree with the current leadership since our Lord is the author of government. We must understand that the leaders will be held accountable for their actions.

These are a few things on how we can be a good citizen.

A. Pay our Taxes (once we have met this obligation God will provide us the resources to give back to him as Jesus famously stated to the Religious Leaders)

B. We should also Tithe (that is giving back to our Lord who provided everything to us.)

C. We are to give those in authority due respect to their office therefore it’s important to pray continually for their well being since they are appointed to promote his justice. Leaders who enrich themselves and use their authority to oppress other will be removed by God in his due time.

Christmas ?

-
                                                                   Christmas?   Christmas, Easter the Sabbath day bring disputes over whether they are PAGAN or is it the right day. So earlier in the last few weeks I overheard a conversation between a sister in Christ when she tried to witness to a person. As she was witnessing he asked her "but what about the Sabbath when do you worship" and she admitted on Sunday. The person then said "what about Christmas do you celebrate" and she said "yes" and he immediately began to talk about the fact that sunday was not the sabbath and Christmas is pagan day and we do not know when Jesus was actually born. The message of the Gospel could have been sidetracked as she tried to defend celebrating Christmas and Sundays. We are going to speak about her response later.    2 Timothy 2:14 says "Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to

Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! Matthew 14:22-32 22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves
