Our Sphere of Local Duties and the Demands of the Regime - vs the Most Authoritarian
I was just reading advice in second letter of Paul to Timothy (2 Timothy) and got a "buck up" style message for dealing with the exigencies of the authoritarian figure-heads we deal with every day. 'Bear with your share of difficulties, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.' 2 Timothy 2:3
So we are having to bear with a lot of structural organizations in the USA that don't work but we see it could always be worse as evidenced by N. Korea.
The judgement of our actions as we try to live within our particular regime is very rough. Let's not turn out to be a disaster in the eyes of a just judge, though, as Herod was.
