Change

" As soon as power is consolidated into a government, which it has to be to try to bring order among citizenry, which Romans 13 says needs to happen. The problem is that people who are sinners use their power and use the money to benefit themselves rather than everyone else. And what he says is this. If you’re looking for change in the world, if you’re looking at reformation, if you’re looking at things getting better, don’t put all your hope in government. Vote, get involved, be active, yes. But, until God changes human hearts, all you’re going to be doing is rotating sinners through seats of authority, and power, and influence. But, change doesn’t come until people meet God. And so, don’t be surprised when crooked people do crooked things. "
