We are obligated to follow both God's law and man's law to the extent possible. When man's law contradicts God's law, then clearly God trumps man, but until that point, we must obey both. As such, we should also recognize that God is going to hold the rulers to a different level of responsibility for their actions. They are obligated to devote their time to the people, and if they do not they have failed God and the people. Regardless, this is not our judgment to make. We are simply commanded to give respect and honor to those that God has placed in charge of us.
About Me
- Michael
- I'm an IT professional who loves to work puzzles and solve problems. That's basically the summary for my job description: "problem solver." It's a good thing, too. You can imagine that being married and the father of four girls, I am a pretty busy guy with plenty of problems to solve. We live in Sachse, TX, a suburb of Dallas, but I am originally from Louisiana. My kids are pretty active with softball, school and growing up. Above all else, my kids really enjoy helping my wife, Leah, with her job at our church. Their favorite part is assisting in putting together big events for the area children.
