Scripture gives us our orders. We are commanded to oversee a ministry of reconciliation in everything we do including serving as governmental leaders. How? We must first be reconciled to God through Christ’s blood and then we can be salt, light, and love in this fallen world. Reconciliation helps restrain chaos and corruption while honoring and serving God first. Serving those in authority to the best of our ability using Christ’s means and methods are never in direct conflict with what God teaches us. Yes, we are appointed for such a time as this. We should emulate Christ, and Cornelius, and Esther. We do this when we consider our Ambassador’s Privilege. (link to article)
