CT STATE AND US GOVERNMENT INFORMATION As Christians we must pray for and hold our Government accountable "Everyone must respect and be submissive to the governing authorities because God establishes all authority. He further makes his point by saying that all the people who are in authority have been put there by God and anyone who rebels against this authority is rebelling against what God has instituted."
The books Romans 13:3-6 and 1 Peter 2:13-15 say that government officials, whether elected or not, are ministers and servants of God who punish and restrain wrongdoers and who commend or praise those who do good works according to God’s transcendent moral code revealed in the Holy Scriptures, the Bible. Government officials must do these things whether or not the people believe in God or the Bible. Proverbs 8:15, 16 of the Bible, the inspired Word of God, says that governments should use wisdom to rule and to make laws that are just. Proverbs 17:7 says rulers also should not lie. Proverbs 20:26 says wise rulers always try to punish the wicked. Proverbs 28:2-4 and 29:4 urges rulers to maintain order justly, to follow God’s moral code and to avoid oppressing the poor.

All the good of the Savior of the world is communicated to us through the Book.”
Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States, 1856-1924 “When you have read the Bible, you know it is the word of God, because it is the key to your heart, your own happiness, and your own duty.”
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, 1858-1919 “A thorough understanding of the Bible is better than a college education.”
