In today’s Coffee with the Superintendent episode, we explore Romans 13:1-7, where Paul instructs Christians to submit to governing authorities, recognizing that God establishes all leadership. This passage is often challenging—especially in a culture that prizes independence, political ideology, and resistance—but Paul’s words remind us that actual faith trusts in God’s sovereignty above all else.
We examine how modern American culture, on both sides of the political spectrum, often fails to exhibit biblical honor and respect for authority, teaching rebellion rather than wisdom and discernment. We reflect on how Christians should balance obedience, civil responsibility, and faithfulness to God’s higher law.
Join us as we challenge political assumptions, cultural trends, and personal biases with the timeless truth of Scripture, asking: Are we honoring God in how we respond to leadership?
Join us as we reflect on how to live out our faith through action, love, and perseverance—choosing to let every experience, good or painful, shape us into who God has called us to be!
