Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten speaking on "For the Lord’s Sake."
        Everything we do should be for the glory of the Lord and the good of His Kingdom. Our responsibility is to proclaim His truths (1 Peter 2:9). As Christian citizens we should submit to the authority of human government, the institution that enforces the laws. Daniel and his friends were not rebels yet they stood their ground. In Acts 4:5, the council wanted Peter and his associates to stop preaching. They submitted but continued to preach the Gospel. Acts 4:19; 5:29. It is important that we respect the office even if we cannot support the people in the office. The government has no right to control the pulpit but every right to control the safety of the building. We still have to over the law. Peter did not oppose the government or advocate that it should be overthrown. We must respect the office even if we cannot support the officer. 1 Peter 2:15-16. When we do something in the will of God and service of God then we are doing it for the Lord’s sake. In verse 15, silent literally means to muzzle. We are free in Christ but we must use our freedom for others. A true Christian uses his freedom as a tool to build with not a tool to destroy others. We may not agree with their decisions but we support their office. How can you say you love the Lord and hate your brother? 1 Pet. 1:22; 3:8; 4:8; 5:14. Romans 13:1 tells us that the powers that be are ordained of God. Thanks for watching! Please like our videos and subscribe to our channel. Click the bell to be notified of new posts.
