God instructs Christian to obey governing authorities, which are placed over us to keep order and restrain evil. Even when government corrupt, we are commanded to live exemplary lives which point people to Christ-our true hope, and which point people to heaven-our true home. We must not put our ultimate hope in human government.
If you are a Christian, you belong to Jesus Christ. He is the cornerstone of God’s House- where we, as living stones, are being built into the place where God dwells with His people.
1 Peter 1:13-25
Our culture urges us to buy limitlessly, receive immediately, and dispose thoughtlessly. Where are our priorities in relation to the kingdom of God? We are part of something supernatural, which will always run counter to the cultural tide.
