Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. Today’s “Throwback Thursday” installment is from Saturday, June 6, 2020. Did you see the video of the so-called protesters shouting obscenities at the police who were allowing the protest but had K-9s leashed and ready to jump into action, if necessary? One protester decided to approach a police officer, turn to him his backside, and dance to the filthy chanting. The K9 had had enough and lunged forward biting the protester in the end, shall we say? Sometimes animals can be better a judge of character than people. Both Peter and Paul teach that we are to respect those who are in authority over us. When Paul wrote in Romans 13:1, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers…the powers that be are ordained of God,” he specifically had in mind the Caesar, who thought he, himself was god! Protest all you want—it’s our right as American citizens but do so peacefully and respectfully. Even this dog knew that these folks were out of line, so he took matters into his own…mouth.
