Authorities
There is something I have seen people
do on Facebook that to me is very wrong. The whole defund the police
concept is wrong because it promotes lawlessness. Also, I have seen
people post where a speed trap is. Usually, police will not stop you
unless you’re doing something wrong. 99% of traffic stops are cause and
effect. You do something wrong and well duh you brought it on yourself.
But seriously don’t post online where a speed trap is. The police
are there to weed out the wrong doers and help the others who are driving
correctly. If you’re not following the rules of the road you’re creating
hazardous situations for those around you and endangering them. God
actually has the police in place for a reason. I will show you in five
verses in Romans.
Romans 13:1-5
“Everyone must submit to governing
authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of
authority 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 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.”
People who don’t speed don’t worry
about speeding tickets. Those who don’t do drugs don’t worry about being
caught with illegal drugs. Lessons that even the Scarecrow from the
Wizard of Oz can teach. I mean “If I only had a brain.”
