God's Word for Monday, 11/5/18

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Romans 13:6 KJV


That’s also why you pay taxes—so that an orderly way of life can be maintained. Fulfill your obligations as a citizen. Pay your taxes, pay your bills, respect your leaders.
Romans 13:6 MSG

Some leaders are easier to respect than others. And then I ask God for patience and forgiveness.

Thank you, Reverend! :)

Rev. Paul said...

If not the officeholder, then at least the office. That's what they say...

LindaG said...

Oh yes. I always respect the office. And that is what I remind when talking with others. :)

Pay the taxes you owe - but then vote for those who charge the least taxes (or alternatively, lower your income and lower your taxes).

Nothing worse than a government that sees its citizens as tax donkeys.

Rev. Paul said...

Correct, TB. "That government is best which charges you the least amount of blackmail for leaving you alone."
