Good Decisions: Wisdom is an indispensable part of responsible national leadership.
“For the Lord’s sake, respect all human authority—whether the king as head of state, or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and
to honor those who do right. It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. For you are free, yet you are
God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters. Fear God, and respect the king.”
1 Peter 2:13-17
“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.”
James 1:5
