Honor the King
July 20th, 2009 in Christianity, Ethics ~ No CommentsThis statement could be taken as a sarcastic or derogatory reference to Barack Obama and his disregard for balance of power. It is not that at all, rather, it is a command found in 1 Peter 3:17.Even if we do not accept his actions as being constitutional and therefore legally null and void, even if we believe he is not even a valid U.S. President, having failed to furnish proof of natural U.S. birth–God commands us to watch our attitudes and words regarding every human authority.
It is worth noting that this instruction was written by the Apostle Peter, who lived in the days of the Roman Empire. If ever there were ruthless, cruel dictators, it was in his day.
