Jesus never gave advice

Grace gives us the power to live, and mercy keeps us free from guilt, condemnation, and shame.

There is no other way to know good from evil, right from wrong, unless we have His Word dwelling richly in our heart. It's good for us to spend time in His Word.

Godly fear, faith, and humility is the true threefold cord that can’t easily be broken (see Ecclesiastes 4:12).

How can a good God appoint cruel people to positions of authority? The answer is simple: God is the originator of the authority, but He is not the author of the cruelty. Man is responsible for his cruel actions, not God. All authority is of God, but not all authority is godly.

We must always keep in mind all legitimate authority is from God, and is given for protection, provision, and peace.

When we oppose God's delegated authority, we oppose God Himself.
