We're living in a day and age where the news and social media talk a lot about police and how bad people think they are. I'll admit I have seen the police get things wrong but we are still to obey them and the laws of our land. I have witnessed some bad driving and I'm opposed to it. I have even known a few people claiming to be followers of God who don't obey the speed limit and some have admitted to physical altercations with the police when stopped. Corpus Christi has some of the worst drivers ever. There are even people who post on Facebook when and where they see police to warn people. If you obey the laws of the road you have nothing to fear. Stop breaking the law.
. Did you know the laws of our land are in place for reasons? The government in our land and law enforcement deserve a little more respect. Don't do it because you don't want to get in trouble but because it is the right thing to do as passed down by God. What do you mean Zac? Maybe you have never read Romans 13.
"Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right and they will honor you. The authorities are are God's servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God's servants sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience." Romans 13:1-5
Not all police are corrupt and they are there for our protection. Don't believe everything you see in the news. Your policemen and women and first responders and military are the first in a line of people who are willing to lay down their lives for you and me and they deserve more respect than they get. Christians are called to be different and as a result we should treat our police better. Are they perfect no but guess what neither are we but we need to be better.
