Romans 13:6-7 (King James Version) 6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.A Question was raised this Sunday after a sermon was preached about giving honor, respect and 'high esteem' to those in authority in our lives. How are we to obey this scripture when somebody in authority is not obeying God? Those in authority were ordained by God in their position of authority, both good and bad, but how are we to obey and honor them when they live a life that is sinful? Doug
