Relationships

  • We drove our way here

  • Here’s how we should position ourselves in the heat of politics

    Today, I am reminded that there is no authority above the LORD. So whoever has the political powers today, if “there is peace and order, it’s God’s order.” Romans 13:1-7 MSG (To Be a Responsible Citizen) 1-3a Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it’s God’s order.… Read more
