Authorities, Obedience and Law – With all of the confusion in this world who should you listen to? – Part 3
It is becoming increasingly popular to “rebel” against authority and the “establishment” in various ways and throughout various countries in the world today. It started a couple of years back with occupy Wall Street, then the G20 summit, the Arab Spring and now civil disobedience in Hong Kong. But what are the real issues behind all of this and how can you find calm in this seemingly confusing time? Let’s talk about these concerns and try to come up with a successful solution…cont’d.
First, Authorities, however wrong people may think they are at times are there for your good (Romans 13:1-5). Imagine, not having local police in the society we live in today. Or imagine no health system for the sick, injured and dying. The point is we need structure as a society to enjoy the “creature comforts”, even if we only get a few hours a day to ourselves and our own endeavours, to ease our mind from the “stress” of the world.
More to come…
