My wife and I have been having a lot of hard discussions lately about our attitudes towards the government in the light of all this.
Not to bring my politics into it, but I'm a small government conservative, but I do strongly believe in what the Bible says towards our relationship with government. 1 Peter 2 is really clear how I'm supposed interact with the government. It goes against my nature, but I do my best to be a good citizen because of that.
I'm always skeptical of government regardless of who is in office, but I'm finding that my sin nature is getting to be a lot more of "F the police" in the last few months.
For a case in point, the Harris county judge's Mask order was ridiculous. I would have obeyed it because it's not doing anything asking me to violate my biblical principles, but I would have raged pretty hard if I lived in that county.
Just curious how people's hearts have been during this and how you're viewing our relationship with the government. I've become very jaded. My rights are God given, not government given and I'm having to check myself on kingdom vs earthly matters.
