Romans 13

chris reminded me that no matter what political views or opinions we have, we are obligated to pray for our leaders according to the Word.

"Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves."

case in point. after 9/11, former President Bush's approval ratings plummeted. we as a nation failed to support him, failed to pray for him. look where we are at now, as a result of us not obeying what we are told to do.

sometimes, we need to be reminded. and what a great man i have next to me to be my reminder.

I agree completely, People need to take that even a step further than just our leaders, but to eachother...family, friends, neighbors, strangers...what a better world this would be if we were all a little less self consumed and judgemental of others.
