Voddie Baucham: What Your Pastor Isn't Telling You About Romans 13

Hey friends, the tension is palpable! Who's going to win the presidency this year and lead the nation? Harris or Trump? As Christians we have an obligation to see these things though a biblical lens. But does the Bible say? How should we understand these times? Let's get right into it :)

Thanks Nate, I sent this from Norway to someone in the US who wasn't going to vote, and after watching he went to vote!

God bless your beautiful country 🙏🏼

This is the best biblical presentation on this topic I have ever seen… especially you pointing out that as believers this most important question we can ask ourselves is “which of these choices gives the church the most headroom to carry out its mission”… brilliantly done… outstanding

The submission to the state authority is NOT unconditional. Read the book of Daniel sometime, or maybe Exodus, Esther, Jeremiah, Samuel and Saul, Joseph and Herod, John and Herod etc. If the authority goes against what God commands us to do, we are absolutely to do God's commandments first

[carololsen]

Thank you for gently reminding us to trust God and to rest in His love.

We are in this together!
Trust in the Lord! Amen!

Sometimes our Lord uses people who are not his servants to correct or improve those who are.

I am humbled by this message. I ‘m repentant of my own personal rebellion. I see now my lack of trust and confess my sin. Thank you for speaking and analyzing God’s Word with practical truth without dishonoring His Word. Thank you for stepping on my toes for it was for my own good.

Nate, I’d like to say this. This vid made me think of a quote that is attributed to John Calvin; “When God wants to judge a nation, He gives them wicked rulers.” I gave a hearty ‘Amen’ to that and forwarded it on. I have been among those proclaiming America is likely at least the Daughter of Babylon and deserves nothing but God’s judgment. But then God gave me insight into God’s desire to be called upon so that He can show His glory, and that the last four years have been instrumental in awakening a sleeping Church in this country. I have balanced the idea of a turning back to God in our nation against what I understand of Revelation and just where we are in God’s timeline, and I assumed we had a handle on it and knew what chess piece would be played next. But our thoughts are not God’s thoughts, and His ways are higher than our ways. He has micro-moves we cannot see bcz we are trying to see the macro. I still fall back on my Bible mantra, “Thy will be done;” but I have greater peace in resting in that will.

I desperately needed those words today. God didn't put you in my feed by accident. No matter what happens, thank you Lord! Thank you that you will, with your choice, eventually accomplish the fullness of your holy will in us, whether now or much, much later. Amen!

[ShopharTemple]

ALL things work together for good to those who love God, who are the called according to His purpose.

Romans 13 is hard to (ironically) submit to at times. God is sovereign and may His will be done in all things.

[kari_b]

Yes we are in this together!! God bless you my brother in Christ! Will be voting 🙏🏽 today!

[laurieomura]

Thank you Nate for never straying from the inerrant, immutable Word of Our Sovereign God. Trust is always our issue... Praise Him in and out of season 🙌

[Offsides]

According to the Bible, the role of government is to punish evil doers and protect the innocent. What are we to do when the government does the opposite?

[Offsides]

I agree with brother Baucham on what the scripture says. But it's kind of interesting that if our forefathers had followed the scripture, there never would have been a United States of America.

[KFish-bwom]

I'm glad you titled the video the way that you did. I haven't watched yet, I just clicked in, but I've been saying this for a while myself. If Kamala ends up as POTUS, it's pretty clear that this nation is under judgment, and I'm sad tp say that I can't deny that it is deserved. I'm hopeful, and prayerful that there will instead be an opportunity for true revival, and that America will embrace it and most importantly turn back to God.

[earlautry]

Love this message! You and Vodie nailed it. We have to trust God and his choices even when he doesn't choose what we want!

[Mizra]

As the saying goes, whatever happens, Jesus is still King.

[susanholt]

Thank you for showing us in the Bible where God stands in this election. He is Sovereign!

[Faith_Walker]

Nate what a beautiful and pure prayer. Thank you brother! ♥️
