" 'Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?'.... And He said to them, 'Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.' "
Luke 20:22, 25
Paying taxes is not only lawful but it is commanded by our Lord Jesus. I may gripe about taxes but I have an obligation to support the governments over me, whether family, church, or civil because God ordained them (Romans 13:1). I may not like or agree with everything the authorities do, but that does not absolve me of my responsibility to pay taxes. Bad government is better than anarchy.
Today's Thought: We pay taxes because Jesus said to.
Have a responsible day. Love you.
