GOD THE CLOCKMAKER FULL
This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes if revenue, then revenue if respect, then respect if honor, then honor.Īs a Christian and a believer of Jesus Christ, I trust that the words of the Bible are true and reliable. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason.
GOD THE CLOCKMAKER FREE
Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. In his-and God’s-own words: Romans 13:1-7 Or better yet, let the Apostle Paul explain. I have qualified my resistance to Trump’s authority because, ultimately, it has not been granted solely by Congress nor by the constitution nor by any other founding document nor by the American people-but by Almighty God. As I will do, if Trump’s actions prompt the same choice. If her actions prompted a choice between submission to government or obedience to God, then I would resist.

If she had won, I would’ve avoided watching her or reading about her or thinking about her and would’ve cringed every time I heard Madam President or President Clinton uttered.īut I would not have resisted her authority … UNLESS. I wish Huckabee or Bush or Rubio were president.

He doesn’t carry himself with dignity like Obama.
GOD THE CLOCKMAKER TV
A billionaire, misogynistic, orange-yellow, cotton-candy-haired former (former?) reality TV star is now the most powerful man on the planet. I, like many other citizens, never thought it would come to this. And Trump’s shrill press secretary, Sean Spicer, doesn’t impress me. Is Bannon to Trump as Vader is to Emperor Palpatine? Or is it the other way around? Hard to tell with these two. And his reliance on the shadowy Steve Bannon, who reminds me of Sir Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth’s ruthless spymaster, troubles me. I wish the Russians would disable his Twitter account-permanently. Trump is also charismatic (in person only, I believe), persuasive, pugnacious, clever and patriotic. He’s thin-skinned and vindictive, which means he’s insecure and petty. Trump is a short-fingered vulgarian-a cleverly concocted cut-down by Graydon Carter, the long-tenured editor of Vanity Fair. So was Barack Obama, FDR, John Kennedy-and yes, even Ronald Reagan. Dump Trumpĭonald Trump is a flawed person and president. My friends have tolerated the ridiculous and insulting comparisons to Hitler and fascism-ridiculous when examined in light of historical perspective and insulting to reason, logic and intelligence- and, most egregiously-to victims of the holocaust, genocide and real racism. They’ve done so for worthy reasons-sympathy for refugees, respect for women, a desire for the elimination of racism and reaction to the oft-misused-now-talking-point-words like hate, bigotry, intolerance, ad nauseam. And by people I love and respect, but who, I believe, have lost perspective on what warrants worthy resistance. But today, I was called to resist-wrongly. I’ve been called to resist posting about politics.
