Our Government

1 Peter 2 says: 13Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, 14or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 16Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. 17Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

In light of what is happening in our government and with the release of the Gomery report today, it is sometimes hard to think that we should submit to our government. Pray that truth, transparency and humility would be restored to our leaders in government. Particularly, pray for people such as John McKay from Spring Garden, who are Christians in the government, trying to honour Christ and bring light to an often dark situation.
