Romans 13 Overview

🔴 LIVE: When Government vs. God: Navigating Romans 13 ⚖️🏛️

Is it illegal to quote the Bible? 📖 It sounds like a movie plot, but Canada’s Bill C-9 just moved through the House of Commons, and it’s stripping away protections for religious speech. 🇨🇦🚫

Today we’re starting Romans 13, and it’s one of the most misunderstood chapters in history. Does "obeying authorities" mean blind allegiance? Or is there a line we are never supposed to cross? 🛑

We’re breaking down:

✅ The Canada Update: What happens when the government stops restraining evil and starts regulating Truth?

✅ God’s 3 Institutions: Why the Family, the Church, and the Government all have a specific lane. 🛣️

✅ The "Midwife" Principle: Why the Bible is full of heroes who respected authority but refused to compromise. ⚔️

✅ Delegated Authority: Why a government is only "legitimate" as long as it fulfills its God-given assignment.

✅ Citizens of Heaven: How to engage in politics without making politics your God. 👑

You aren’t here by accident. You were placed in this generation on purpose. Let’s learn how to live with clarity and courage. 🛠️

Romans 12:9-12

No Masks Allowed 🎭 | Romans 12:9–12

Let’s be honest: it’s easy to "play church." It’s easy to look the part, say the right words, and keep the mask on tight. But God isn't looking for a performance; He’s looking for allegiance. 🛡️

Today we’re digging into Romans 12:9–12 to see what an authentic, "un-curated" faith actually looks like in the real world. Especially after a week of local elections and cultural noise, we need to recalibrate. 🧭

We’re talking about:

✅ Why "Genuine Love" has to have a backbone (Abhorring evil vs. Clinging to good).

✅ How to "Outdo one another in honor" and kill the spirit of comparison. 🥇

✅ Moving from "Spiritual Slothfulness" to a "Boiling Inner Fire." 🔥

✅ Staying under the weight: Why "Patience in Tribulation" is a superpower.

The throne of heaven isn't up for election, and our hope isn't on the ballot. Our hope is in the God who rules history. 👑

Stop playing. Start living. Let’s get real.
