The word is
out.
Cabinet members within the Trump Administration are holding regular Bible studies.
And... gasp... some of the members -- like Attorney General Jeff Sessions -- are actually applying what they learn.
As expected, there are those who are aghast by this.
Even some Christians...
who mistakenly suppose there are neutral territories in life where God's authority doesn't reach... have become uneasy.
But the startling fact is... this is exactly what civil rulers should be doing.
To do so follows the guidance God gives in the Book of Deuteronomy... where He reveals that civil rulers are to keep His Word close... so they can observe His law and statutes
(Dt.17:18-20).
And Note: this shouldn't be discounted just because it's from the Old Testament.
When Jesus commissioned His followers to make disciples of all nations, He did so having ALL authority in heaven and on EARTH (Mt.28:18).
This means... His teaching applies to every realm and institution of earthly life -- including civil
government.
We may -- and should -- debate how His teaching actually applies to civil matters.
But to have such conversations, there needs to be Bible studies... like the Trump Administration is apparently having.
