Pay what is owe. Owe nothing...except to love...
Owe no one except to love.
Anyone who violates God's moral standards as flagrantly as was apparently being done in Rome (v13) has lost most or all of their fear of God. Any real expectation that they will be held accountable for their actions must have receded in their thinking so far into the future that it no longer had any power to restrain their behavior. Jesus made it abundantly clear how He wants His disciples to think. He said, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone" (Mt 24:36). Then He gave us several examples of people being caught off-guard by the sudden arrival of God's judgment (Mt 24:36-51). Basically, He tells us you don't know when I'll return, so live each day as if I might arrive at any minute, because when I do come, I will evaluate your lifestyle and judge those whose behavior proves them to be hypocrites.
The night is almost over. The day is coming. So why are so many of us still sleepwalking through life? This week in Romans 13, Paul sounds an urgent alarm: wake up, put on the armor of light, and stop making provision for the flesh. It's not just about what sins to stop—it's about what you're still feeding. Whatever habit, app, relationship, or environment keeps your flesh supplied is what needs to go. The life God has for you is better than the one you've been sleepwalking through. Time to wake up.

September 27th 2026 – Resting in God's Authority – Romans 13:1-7 by Exchange Church Shepparton
Why I do something is more important than what I do, and there is only one reason that pleases God: love. I could do the most noble thing in the world, and if I do it for the wrong reason, it means nothing to Him. I may have benefitted someone else but spiritually I haven't pleased God. If I've done it selfishly or fearfully or pridefully or begrudgingly, I receive no reward from Him at all. The only benefit I'll get is whatever human approval comes my way (Mt 6:1-4). Even great spiritual achievements such as mighty faith or prophetic revelations bring me no approval from God if not done for the right reason. Anger, self-righteousness, pride, competitiveness all leave me a disappointing failure. And the reverse is also true. If I do even the simplest act because I love someone, I will be rewarded for it in eternity and probably in this life as well. So obviously it's very important for me to understand what love is. We should acknowledge right up front that only God knows why I do things (Lk 16:15), but I'd still be wise to examine my own heart to see if love appears to be at work there (1Co 2:11), and if not then I need to drop everything else I'm doing and find some because, as far as God is concerned, I've been wasting my time (1Co 13:1-3). It's not that what I've been doing is wrong necessarily, it's why I've been doing it. Something in my attitude about myself may need to die, and something that comes only from God needs to take its place. I need a miracle... I need His love.

Are you afraid of the dark? Do scary thoughts sometimes make you feel afraid—even when you know there's nothing there? Meet Lady Gwena-Fear, a funny and fearful character who learns an important Bible truth from Lance-a-Little: We don't have to live in fear when we put on the Armor of Light and trust in Jesus!In this fun Christian story for kids, Lance teaches Lady Gwena-Fear about Romans 13:12: “Let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” Just like darkness disappears when you turn on a light, fear can lose its grip when we fill our minds and hearts with God's Word and His truth.Lady Gwena-Fear discovers that Jesus is the Light of the World and that spending more time in the light of God's Word means spending less time in the darkness of fear. Kids will learn that they can talk to God, trust His Word, and choose courage instead of allowing fear to control their thoughts.And just when Lady Gwena-Fear thinks she has conquered her fears, she returns as Lady Gwena-Christian—with a surprising new friend: Prince Kermie the frog!
Harmony Romans 13:8-10; 14:1-19 9/13/2026 Rev. Alan Brehm PhD Hickman Presbyterian Church
Romans 13:11-14 delivers a clear and urgent call to every believer: wake up, cast off sin, and put on Christ. Paul uses the imagery of removing a burning jacket to describe how seriously we should treat sin in our lives. Sin is not passive. It creeps, it corrodes, and it becomes a master over anyone who tolerates it. The good news is that repentance is not just turning away from something. It is turning toward Someone far greater. Putting on Christ means actively clothing ourselves in compassion, humility, patience, and love. The Holy Spirit empowers this transformation from the inside out. We are not left to fight alone.

9/6/26 - Message by Pastor Eric Robinson
Biblical love is not sentimental or passive. It is active, transforming, and grounded in the character of God Himself. Romans 13 makes clear that genuine love does no wrong to a neighbor, and that this kind of love actually fulfills the entire law. Paul also calls believers to wake up, recognizing that we are living in a decisive moment in history. The return of Christ is drawing closer, and that reality should shape how we live every single day. We are called to cast off the works of darkness, put on Christ, and walk in the light. Love your neighbor the way Christ has loved you.

The post Romans 13:1-14 appeared first on CrossPoint Modesto.
Love is one of the most talked-about topics in the world, yet the version most people know is shallow and built on feelings and affirmation. Biblical love is something far deeper. It is rooted in the character of God Himself and defined not by emotions but by the person and work of Jesus Christ. God demonstrated the true meaning of love by sending His Son to die for sinners, even while they were still His enemies. This kind of love does not erase the law or affirm everything without condition. It fulfills the law, hates what is wrong, and rejoices in truth. Real love is patient, kind, selfless, and willing to sacrifice, and it grows in believers as the Holy Spirit works in them over time.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 219 The United States of America was founded on a very particular view of the people's right relationship to government authority that can be, and was, summarized by the famous phrase, "Resistance against tyrants is obedience to God." But, many have wondered, even in our present day, what about the injunctions of Paul's famous Romans 13, which demands we obey our civil authorities, for they are ordained by God for our good through that role? This crucial question loomed very large through the Covid-19 abuses and has ever since, including in the American churches. The definitively American answer to the question was given as a sermon (https://lc.org/PDFs/A%20Discourse%20Concerning%20Unlimited%20Submission%20and%20Non-Resistance%20to%20the%20Higher%20Powers%20-%20Jonathan%20Mayhew%20-%201750.pdf) in Massachusetts Colony in 1750, however, by a fiery young Congregationalist named Jonathan Mayhew, and this sermon laid bedrock under what would become the United States. "A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non-Resistance to the Higher Powers," he called it. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads the majority of this sermon to you with as much passion as he can muster so that you, too, can hear this incredibly important message, 276 years after it was first preached.
