Minorities and Salt

(Pro 20:8 KJV) A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

When you consider the compromised ethics of most politicians today I am almost ready to go back to the days of having a “king” (4428).  Almost, but not quite.  Just as politicians are divided up between the moral and the corrupt, the competent and the hopeless, the informed and the clueless, so also kings come in all flavors.  What this reminds us of is that people in authority have a responsibility to stand up for “justice” (1779), not for their own agendas.

One of the dangers we live with in our form of government is that people vote their pocketbooks and not justice.  The reason for that is history has always had a majority of people who reject the standards of God.  Remember Jesus’ words about the narrow and wide gates.  At the same time, we are to be the voice and example of righteousness.

So?  Speak up.  Live by the Book.  Be salt.
