Have you grown accustomed to Lawmakers, Politicians, or Clergy who insist people must conform? Do the Rules, Traditions, and Duties set in place ensure societal well-being; or are they administrative jargon made to keep the mainstream of people Underfoot. The Holy One warns about Casual Crooks who collectively Collude, Levy the poor and downtrodden, or Excise away Faith in the Church.

Jesus taught us to Love and Treat neighbors as Children of God. Our Lord expects nothing less from each Believer. However, societal norms often conflict with what is right and just. Do sanctioned candidates rule according to Scripture or Supporters who vote or promote them into office; once a Governmental or Religious official takes office do they orchestrate their duties justly; or would God chastise our Friends in High Places.

“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.” (Romans 12:1-5 NLT)

God has given all a chance to come clean, to repent, and to start this coming New Year living righteous. No matter how you or I used to think. No matter how or why others act differently. If ruling layers of our Society would Live Like Jesus a bit each day, endowing Spiritually rather than Materially all the time, the Holy One might Bless those who they’re obliged to SERVE with eternal Salvation.
