TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Romans 13:3-5 - [3] For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, [4] for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. [5] Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. (ESV)

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, friends. I'm glad you're back with me for the morning mindset. Here we are. You and me |
| 0:09.6 | were here ready to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. When I was in high |
| 0:16.5 | school, I remember I took a one semester course. My junior or senior year, I can't remember which it was, called government. |
| 0:24.6 | Do you remember that? |
| 0:25.9 | Were you in that sort of vote? |
| 0:27.4 | It's really interesting to me. |
| 0:28.8 | Since that course, most of my life, I've not thought much about government, especially as it relates to my Christianity. |
| 0:37.2 | But the Bible actually speaks about government |
| 0:40.3 | and what the government is supposed to accomplish |
| 0:42.3 | what God's intention for it is. |
| 0:45.3 | We're going to be looking at that today in Romans chapter 13 |
| 0:49.3 | verses 3 and following. |
| 0:51.3 | So get your Bibles out. |
| 0:52.3 | We're going to be looking at that in just a moment. |
| 0:55.7 | Before we do, though, I want you to know that I have also published some books. Many of them, |
| 1:02.7 | Christian life-oriented study kind of books, but three of them in particular are fiction, |
| 1:08.7 | a story about a young boy who is snatched away from his family |
| 1:13.4 | on a dark night by a dragon. And this is a real life sort of book written as if dragons really |
| 1:20.1 | existed. And what would that have been like if our world really was that way? Well, you can find |
