Rules, rules, rules. Do this do that, blah blah blah. It’s doesn’t matter if it’s home, college, school or even youth group every one seems to have rules. And God says obey them. Hold on a minute what’s that all about. I mean it’s OK if I agree with a rule, and I can see that some rules are needed, but what if we disagree with rules? Well our God says obey the rules. It says pretty clearly in this passage All Governments are under God. That means we have to obey the rules of our country. It does also mean that the leaders in our country will stand before God and explain how they ruled us. So back to the big question. What if you don’t believe that a rule at school, college, or even a law in your country is what God would want to do? Good news. You get to do something about it. Don’t believe in a rule at school? Get elected to the school council. Don’t believe in a rule at college? Get on the board. You can make a difference. Don’t believe in a law in your country? Write to your leaders, protest to them, hey get elected when you are old enough make a difference. You come under authority of your leaders, but also under God, and God says you can make a difference. So don’t break the rules that you don’t believe in, get them changed.
