Honor god by choosing well
When did you last reflect on the truth that government is God’s idea? Scripture teaches that government was instituted by God in Genesis 9:6. In the New Testament, Paul asserts that governmental authority is ordained by God, and he identifies the legitimate functions of government, namely to promote what is good and to punish evil-doers (Rom 13:1-7, I Peter 2:13-17). God cares enough about our leaders to command us to pray for them (I Tim. 2:1-4). Doesn’t it make sense for us to also engage in choosing them?
