Rulers

“God’s judgment upon the nations was not identical to his judgment upon Israel…. God does not fault the nations for failing to be the sort of nation Israel was supposed to be. Instead, he faults them more generally for pride, violence, and oppression.” - Kevin DeYoung

“God is present in every council of those gathered to legislate and to lead. He is a silent witness to the actions of men; He hears every word; and, He understands exhaustively the motives of the heart. God does not take lightly the stewardship of ruling.” - P&D
