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.
Does this mean that President B. Hussein Obama was appointed by God? He certainly wasn't chosen by the people of the United States. I have some interesting information about the presidential election; if you're interested, send me your email address and I will forward it to you.
Paul was writing to an age and culture where there was no such thing as an elected government official. In our country, we the people have the responsibility of electing Godly, decent, upstanding men and women to our public offices. Failure to do so is dereliction of duty as well as disobedience to God.
