How should a believer conduct him or herself in an unrighteous environment or towards unrighteous authorities?
[#13 Q3] We know that it is only when the Lord returns that there will truly be righteousness and justice and peace established on the earth. Still, it is troubling to see governmental authorities perpetuate unrighteousness, sometimes toward whole groups of people. How should a believer conduct himself or herself in an environment of unrighteousness? How do you conduct yourself righteously toward people in authority who conduct themselves unrighteously?
In Question and Response (Q&R) sessions, a group of invited panelists respond to questions submitted by students and young adults during the week. The panelists are generally older and more experienced brothers in the Lord who have the burden to respond to our questions by sharing both the truth from the Bible and their experiences in life.
It is important to point out that these brothers do not presume to have the answers to our questions. Rather, they are willing to provide a response in fellowship, and to encourage us to personally go to the Lord and consider all these things before Him.
