Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. (Romans 13:1 ESV)
However, there may come a time-maybe sooner than later-when "we must obey God rather than men":
And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men."
(Acts 5:27-29 ESV)
Thanks for the kind words. Life's been quite busy lately, but I hope within the next year or so, things will slow down enough for me to begin posting on the blog again routinely.
