A Good Soldier



"Who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, 'Why did you make me like this,' will it?" (Rom. 9:20)

Often, atheists, agnostics, and postmodern thinkers accuse Christians of being judgmental and prejudiced. But the honest truth is, we are just being good soldiers.

If a traffic officer issues you a ticket for violating the number coding scheme, will your anger burn against the traffic cop if you disagree with the number coding policy? Take your issues with the local government or congress. It is them who ratified the law. The traffic police’s job is to implement what the authorities make legal. Let’s not associate the implementer with the lawmaker.

In the same manner, God is the lawmaker and good Christians are merely implementers. If you have a problem with biblical truth, take it up with God, not his servants.

Someone once said, "There is a God and you're not Him!" Let's not play God. It's either we submit under His authority or not. There's no middle ground.
