Politics & government

Politics is basically the science and art of government, and its aim should be to help people living collectively in a society to live in harmony & prosperity.

Let us respect and submit to our politicians, praying for and encouraging them to make decisions that will not only uphold justice and righteousness, but also be most beneficial for allowing us to live godly lives and hence help others to be saved.

If a governing authority asks us to do something which is against our conscience, we must obey God rather than men, but still submit to the governing authority's decisions against us.  The Bible is filled with such examples.  There is no need, nor precedent for, radical violent upheaval against the governing authorities by us as Christians.  Our prayers and our obedient submission as we seek to do God's will shall accomplish the greater purposes of God.
