God, the supreme Lord and King of all the world, has ordained civil magistrates, to be, under Him, over the people, for His own glory, and the public good: and, to this end, has armed them with the power of the sword, for the defence and encouragement of them that are good, and for the punishment of evil doers.(Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter XXIII. 1).
I voted for Manny Villar. And the moment I announced my support for the senator, my own family showed disgust over my decision. I have to admit, the sentimental value of the Filipinos for Cory and Ninoy was so overwhelming that most wanted Noynoy for no objective reason. They wanted Noy, and they were not wrong in their candidate. He is winning, though the proclamation is not yet announced, he is obviously winning now. My reaction, simple, submit to the new governing body. I honestly and personally do not believe in the competence of Senator Aquino but if he would be the one about to take shelter at Malacañan, then I have no more questions. I cannot make objections against the will of the sovereign God who establishes every kingdom, every government and every authority.Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. The government was instituted by God to bring His will down to us. They might be some unlikely events but the bottomline is it will still end up glorifying God. Therefore, Give everyone what you owe him (government): If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
