All Things In Their Place

1 Peter 2: 16,17

We being under the direction of God are to live as free men as bondslaves to God. The freedom we have does not allow us to get our priorities out of place or use that freedom as a covering for evil. A large portion of being a disciple is knowing how and where to focus our attention. Discipleship is a learning process& which teaches us how to train our eyes, hearts and utimately actions.
If we show dishonor to anyone it shows our lack of understanding of our service to God. Peter tells us we are to honor "all" people. Love our brothers and sisters in Christ, have an extreeme reverance for God and honor the king.
As Americans we do not have a king but we have a system of government that has as it's head a President and government officials that we are to honor. Honor does not mean that we aggree with their stance but we certainly do not show God reverence when we become well behaved anarchists either.
We tend to get in a state of mind where we believe it is our right to dishonor our government heads because we think if we do give honor to them we are somehow succumbing their way of governing.
Respecting authority does not mean you aggree, it means you treat them as you would like to be treated.
Honor all people, love the brother hood, fear God, honor the king.
