I first want to Thank God for a momma, and a daddy who taught me to respect my elders, and especially, "MY PARENTS", Many parents are bringing up statistics (future Prison inmates), by their refusal to teach them right, from wrong, and one GREAT simple COMMAND, and that is to HONOR your MOTHER, and FATHER. The Bible teaches this, and gives some great promises to those who honor them, and warns those who do them not. But, take heed, for how you have treated your elders, it will come unto you again with a vengeance.
Hear Gods Word, and Live! amen

Romans 13:1-7 ESV
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. ...
