Serious Business
For God, government is serious business and the Bible includes many serious warnings from God addressed to those who abuse power. God's judgments may not always be immediate, but they are inevitable. "Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take warning, O judges of the earth" (Psalm 2:10). "Woe to those who enact evil statutes, and to those who constantly record unjust decisions" (Isaiah 10:1). The right of governing is a sacred trust that requires the fear of God (Micah 6:8-9).
