One result of our prideful, selfish nature is that we’re very good at finding ways to disagree with each other. This is why we have thousands of different Christian denominations. If there’s something even remotely unclear in Scripture – or not in Scripture at all – it easily becomes grounds for those who want to see it one way to attack those who don’t. As Pastor Terry continues our study in Romans today, he’ll remind us of the importance of unity when dealing with these grey issues.

What is the Christian standard concerning civil disobedience? In his message today, Pastor Terry explains that Christians are called to submit to those in authority unless such authority contradicts God’s word. Many biblical examples prioritized obedience to God over compliance with human laws. We must be prepared to uphold what is right and accept any consequences that result. When a nation acts unjustly, it is sometimes necessary to stand for truth. This must always be done with respect.

Submission to those in authority is often challenging, particularly when we disagree with our leaders. Today, Pastor Terry discusses how Paul, Peter, and Jesus each instruct us to respect individuals in governmental leadership. To follow this teaching, we must trust in God’s sovereignty, recognizing that God appoints nations and permits their rulers to rise and fall. Submitting to our authorities reflects our submission to God. We should exemplify Christian character by obeying the law.

What should our attitude be toward serving the Lord? We often perceive participation in God’s work as burdensome. In today’s message, Pastor Terry emphasizes that service should be motivated by gratitude and carried out with passion. Scripture encourages diligence and a spirit of eagerness in service. Anticipate the opportunities God provides to participate in His work. Serve the Lord with fervor rather than reluctance. Embrace your purpose and recognize that it is an honor to serve the Lord.

The Bible provides explicit guidance for cultivating a strong relationship with God. In today’s message, Pastor Terry emphasizes the importance of maintaining a relationship with Christ. He reiterates the apostle Paul’s instruction to renew the mind, soul, and body, beginning with daily Bible reading. This practice will transform and impact one’s life. Use a systematic approach or a daily Bible reading plan. Such renewal of the mind is described as an integral aspect of reasonable spiritual service.
