Pastor Larry today talked about Romans thirteen
Verse number seven was the first one seen
"Give everyone what you owe him" that verse does say
"The Power of Honoring MOM" was the topic of the day
Masters, Others, and Messiah were the key words three
Although a Happy Mother's Day it was also meant to be
Submit to all authority is stated in verse number one
For God has put all authority in place, bar none
Parents, government, business, and even church
Pastor gave us passages to read and research
Ephesians 6:1-3 and 1 Peter 2 verses 13 and 14
Colossians 3: 2-22 and 1 Timothy 5 verse 17
For God uses authority figures to us mold
In some cases, the results were quite bold
Think about Moses with Pharaoh and David with Saul
Remember that our God is really on charge of us all
Per John 19:10 and 11, much to Pilate's dismay
All power comes from above, Jesus did say
Pastor then said, moving on to verse two
To rebel against authority is against God too
In the same vein, how we respond to authority
Also indicates whether we give God priority
Pastor mentioned the example of King Saul
Who, by rebelling, ended up losing it all
That said, there are limits to how far we obey
Look at Acts 5:28-29 Pastor Larry did say
Verses eight to ten talking about honouring others
We must love all, not just our fathers and mothers
For anyone who does others so love
Has fulfilled the law of our God above
"Love your neighbour as yourself" is the key rule
Which is why we learned it in Sunday school
"Behave decently" per verse thirteen
Whether in day or when the moon is seen
By the desires of the flesh we should not be enticed
Instead we should clothe ourselves with Jesus Christ
