I'm ready for tonight's message on submission at Calvary ABQ. I have a lot of negative things to day about everything, including Calvary. I want to start speaking positively, though. I've never had any issue with President Barack Obama, maybe that's un-christian of me, but I really like this portion of 1 Peter 2:
"13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution,[b] whether it be to the emperor[c] as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants[d] of God. 17 Honour everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the emperor."
We're to "honour the emperor", or President in our case. I think it's funny how all these Christians talk badly about the President and his wife. We shouldn't talk badly about anybody really--doesn't mean you have to agree with him, but you have to "honour" him. What does that mean? I'm excited to learn more tonight.
