Dear editor,
Medicine Hat Police Chief Mike Worden needn’t wait for AHS to direct him on the legality of the church service at Heights Baptist Church.
He can go right to the top legal authority, Jesus Christ. The answer for him is in the first two verses of Chapter 13 of the Book of Romans in the Bible’s New Testament. The verses explain the Christian’s requirement to submit to governing authorities.
“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. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.”
