How can anyone think soundly and choose wisely about any matter unless they have the guidance of the Holy Spirit How often do we find ourselves in a place where we are dissatisfied with people in positions of power? I know many people that are quite outspoken about the actions of people in power over them. I very often find myself commenting on choices that people in my work based management make.

The power that comes from God’s presence is no exception and people have been trying to control or own it since biblical times as we see in Act 8v18. WHAT THEN IS THE CURRENCY OF GOD’S HOUSE OR KINGDOM? Faith: Heb 11v6 Now...

As South Africans start to feel the economic pinch of COVID 19 lockdown the term of civil-disobedience is starting to become a regular talking point. It became more apparent as I took the time to speak with people seen as community leaders. Civil disobedience may make some sense to one but it causes challenges when one considers it from a Biblical perspective. CIVIL-DISOBEDIENCE : the refusal to comply with certain laws considered unjust as a peaceful form of political protest The question we need to answer is: When is civil-disobedience acceptable for a child of God? There are a few examples in the Bible where this kind of action did take place and we see that there are times where God supported the protesters. One of these examples can be found in Daniel 3:18 . In another instance, the biblical example is submission to the ruling author...
