Submit to authorities

Church yesterday focused on Titus...and spoke loud and clear to me in regards to submitting to our authorities (government). If you read this blog at all, there is no doubt I can be super critical of what is going on in Washington DC. In the past, I never really paid attention to legislation and didn't realize what that meant to me, how it would effect us, and so forth. That being said, let me be clear...as Christians, I personally feel we are to submit to our government, bosses, authorities, etc...except when it goes against God's word. Our alliance is with God and his teachings first and foremost...so, I truly feel we can advocate for biblical principles while submitting to authority. Yes, there has to be balance there...at the end of the day, we are to exemplify Christ in every aspect of our life. So, my apologies when I have failed to exemplify Christ on here and when I have gotten too harsh or critical. That being said, please try to look through the emotion used, and to the facts stated (especially when the blogs are political).
On a last note, we need to keep our government officials in our prayers...we have seen in the last few days how regardless of D or R, they are all human. They are public servants who subject their life into the spotlight, and often in harms way because of that spotlight. Pray for Congresswoman Giffords of Arizona and her recovery...
