Last night at the dinner table we had a great discussion over our macaroni.
I shared that the Obama Administration may pass a health care plan that uses our taxes to pay for abortions.
“Picture it guys. Money taken out of my paycheck will be used to pay for a woman to have her baby killed.”
Our discussion was sober.
We read Romans 12:17-13:10.
I shared a little about what the government in Rome was doing with the money taken from Christian’s paychecks at the time that epistle was written.
We reflected together that (some twenty centuries ago) another Christian family may have been discussing this same issue.
They probably would have quoted these same verses. Only they did so, not from a “Bible,” but from having heard Paul’s actual letter to the actual Roman church read in the assembly the week before.
Maybe they were even eating macaroni during their discussion.
