FROM TODAY'S READING...
"Ninety-five percent of the people I deal with are fine fellas. But everybody, ya know, breaks a little law now and then. It doesn't make 'em bad people. What it is at the end of the day, I got a job to do and they got rules to follow."

Titus 3:1-2 (NLT) Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone.
Romans 13:1, 4-5 (NLT) Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God...The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.
