Obey God and the Laws of the Land July 25, 2011 Commentary

"I'm told by the Hispanic community that perhaps 40 percent of all the Southern Baptist Hispanics in America are undocumented -- which shouldn't surprise us," says Richard Land who heads the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission "I mean, they come here to work, and we aggressively evangelize and they find Jesus as their Savior . The first job of the church is to reach people with the good news of Jesus however after salvation shouldn’t we teach converts what the Bible says about obeying the laws of the land.

We who follow Christ are to obey the laws of the land unless by obeying those laws we would disobey a command of God. As Peter would have when in the book of Acts he said we must obey God rather than men.

What do you think.
