Morning Light - Romans 13

Today: [Romans 13:] Be Subject to the Higher Powers: In Romans 13 Paul challenges the thinking of his fellow citizens regarding their attitudes toward the Roman empire. Could this chapter have any relevance whatsoever for modern Christians? Today political upheaval is an absolute art form even among the community of believers. What is your idea of a proper attitude toward government? Does it line up with Romans 13 and if not do we have permission to just disregard these particular passages as not applying to our day or our generation?
