Sometimes, It's Okay To Settle

Wednesday, July 18, 2012
     Greetings, brother; I am currently in a legal situation.  I would like some Scriptures to help me through this situation.

Sincerely,
Court Date

Dear Court Date,

Since we don’t know the specifics of your situation, we will point you toward the best legal advice the world has ever given and leave it at that.  In Matt 5:25-26, Jesus said that the best way to handle legal disputes is out of court.  This isn’t always possible, but if you can find compromise and agreement with your adversary before you stand before a judge, that is the best option.

Hope For A Quiet Life

     Where, if any place, does it give reference to political answers other than Jesus turning over the tables in the temple?

Sincerely,
Politico

Dear Politico,

Politics have always intermingled with religion because many political issues (such as abortion, homosexuality, etc.) have moral implications, but religion is not the same as politics.  Jesus’ attitude toward the government was that we should pay our taxes (Lk 20:25), obey the laws (Rom 13:1), pray for the rulers, and hope for a quiet life (1 Tim 2:1-2).  Politics are a big deal in this country (especially during such volatile political times), but Christianity transcends such earthly disputes and battles.  Stand by God’s Word in all issues, and you will always be fine.

Primary Concerns

Should I vote for Mitt Romney (a Mormon) for president?

Sincerely,
Chad

Dear Chad,

We won’t tell you who to vote for or who not to vote for… that just simply goes beyond the Scriptures and into the realm of opinion.  Politics have always intermingled with religion because many political issues (such as abortion, homosexuality, etc.) have moral implications, but religion is not the same as politics.  Jesus’ attitude toward the government was that we should pay our taxes (Lk 20:25), obey the laws (Rom 13:1), pray for the rulers, and hope for a quiet life (1 Tim 2:1-2).  Politics are a big deal in this country (especially during such volatile political times), but Christianity transcends such earthly disputes and battles.  Stand by God’s Word in all issues, and you will always be fine.
