Sept 8 Respect for Authority Romans 13:2
"Therefore, he who resist the authorities, resist what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur Judgement."
Be careful what you do. Little ones are watching
They learn more from what they see us do than what we say.
Do we obey the speed limits?
Do we cheat on our taxes?
Do we criticize their teachers
Do they hear us crucify our preacher after church?
Respect : The office
Respect : The uniform
Respect : Church leaders
Respect : Parents
Respect : Teachers
I am sure there is more, but you get the idea. When Jesus was asked if he should obey the law (pay taxes), He asked for a coin and said to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. I think that means to obey the law of the land unless it goes against the law of God. Authority figures come and go, but God is always in control.
Adults, we need to be a good examples for the young ones who are looking. Maybe , we need to clean up our act first and then pray for all of us to show respect for Authority.
