This does NOT mean we are required to agree with every decision our president makes, nor does it mean that we should condone the current treatment of the people crossing the border who are seeking asylum.
You are taking this text out of context here.
I copied and pasted the first 1/3 of the chapter... the rest of it does not change this first 1/3 sport... hence NOTHING is out of context. Like it or not this was a tough pill for me to swallow when obama was in office now it is simply your turn to take your medicine for society's sake. what's more better find a flavor you like because you got 6 more years of this medicine to take.
What this means is, it would be inappropriate and un-Christian of me were I to take a pitchfork and light it and charge with a large riot and battering ram against the doors of the White House in an attempt to usurp Trump. That is bad because God does not want us to resort to violence against authority, because as a society we need authority to keep us in line.
There is a vast difference between that ^ above, and personally disagreeing with what our current president is doing. There is no admonition against disagreement, only rebellion, and in the context of said rebellion causing more harm than good.
