Preplanned Rebellion


I’ve been a student at Taylor University, a Christian liberal arts university in Indiana. Much to my chagrin some students and faculty walked out in protest during Vice President Mike Pence’s commencement address. I can overlook the student’s lack of maturity. However, for any faculty to participate in preplanned rebellion that leads students astray is not only unacceptable, but it goes against God, who puts people in positions of authority. Paul said, “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. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves” (Ro 13:1-2 NIV).
