True Woman Blog: Confidently Humble

Pray for leaders - a Christian perspective
We are to pray for those in positions of authority, great or small. Elsewhere in the Bible, it's made clear that leaders have an additional burden of responsibility, and we are to support them through prayer, not work against them and make their job harder.

Authorities - a Christian perspective
Paul writes in Romans that all people should submit themselves to their authorities. Those in authoritative and governmental positions have been put there by God. If we rebel against them, we are rebelling against not only them, but God.

Entrust - a Christian perspective

Council in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Jesus tells his disciples that they should expect to be dragged in front of local councils and synagogues to be flogged and beaten. In putting themselves in these positions they will act as witnesses for Jesus.

Serving But Starving - #5738
There's a danger of becoming someone who leads others to experience the Lord while you're slowly becoming a spectator yourself. And you can so fill your life with Christian meetings, Christian positions, and Christian activity that it feels like knowing the Lord. But, in fact, those activities have slowly crowded out that precious private time with Jesus. And that time is the fuel for any valid ministry!

Respect authority - a Christian perspective
