From the Pastor’s Recent Reading:
“The grace of the gospel teaches us submission and quiet, where pride and the mind set on the flesh only see causes for murmuring and discontent. Whatever the persons in authority over us themselves may be, yet the just power they have, must be submitted to and obeyed. In the general course of human affairs, rulers are not a terror to honest, quiet, and good subjects, but to evil-doers. Such is the power of sin and corruption, that many will be kept back from crimes only by the fear of punishment. You have the benefit of the government, therefore do what you canst to preserve it, and nothing to disturb it. This directs private persons to behave quietly and peaceably where God has set them, 1 Timothy 2:1-2. ” —Matthew Henry
