Cultivating a right attitude toward the government

June 11, 2012

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Romans 13:1

I hear lots of people complaining about the government today. But while you and I as Americans have every right to voice our opinion on the issues of the day, it’s so important that we be sure to do it with the right perspective on the God-given role of our government leaders.

The Bible tells us that we should pray for the governing authorities. So let me ask you this, when is the last time you prayed for the president? Have you prayed for the members of the Congress? Have you prayed for your local and state leaders? It’s easy to complain and criticize, but it is the call of the Christian to also pray for those in authority!

Not only that, it’s also the responsibility of Christians to be good citizens. You do this by voting in elections and by paying your taxes. Now I know paying taxes may not be your favorite thing, but when you consider the blessings that we have as Americans, I will gladly pay my taxes for those privileges.

God has placed us here to be salt and light. And one of the best ways you can do that is by submitting yourself to the governmental authorities and praying for your leaders every day!

GOD HAS INSTITUTED GOVERNMENTAL AUTHROITIES FOR A REASON. SO PRAY FOR YOUR LEADERS AND BE A GOOD CITIZEN!

Learn how to defeat your doubts!

Dear Friend,

Many believers today find it easy to have faith when times are good. But when things get tough, they struggle with doubt as the foundations of what they believe are shaken.

To help you learn to defeat your doubts, I want to send you two powerful resources: the Why Believe, Part 2 CD series and a copy of the Share the Good News®New Testament.

These two resources will help you build the kind of faith that will weather the storms of life and conquer your doubts. And they’re my gifts to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint Ministries continue to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

I pray these resources will strengthen and encourage you for powerful daily living!
