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. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.                                                                                                                                   Romans 13:1-2 Good news, king Jesus brings the Kingdom of God. This impacts how we relate to our government. The verses above clearly say that governing authorities are appointed by God. So, we are not to resist th...

So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.                                                                                                                     Psalm 90:12                                       Some news articles catch my attention.
