There is a Judge in heaven who is soverign and can take us out of this world any time He chooses. Those given great power and authority would be wise to make their decisions knowing that they will someday stand before Him! They would be wise to take His word to heard:
"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers."
- Psalm 6:16-19
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
It seems that our government is entirely consumed with those things.
