Pentagon fails to comply with law to help overseas soldiers
vote, watchdog says
This article was a real eye opener for me and should be for
you regardless of your political leanings. “Why?” you ask. Because of the last
paragraph of the article (seen below) and the last sentence, which says that,
the pentagon is in agreement with the inspector general’s recommendation.
The inspector general recommended the Pentagon create better
survey capabilities to identify the voting needs of soldiers, sailors, Marines
and Air Force personnel after the 2012 election and to work with Congress to
change the parts of the law that it isn’t complying with. (my emphasis added)
Doesn’t bother you too much?
Well how do you feel about people who refuse to obey the law
and when asked about it they say, “let’s just change the law?”
How about complying with the law of the land the one that
your commander-in-chief signed into law? And then work to change the law if
necessary. After all that is what w followers of Christ are called to do (see
Romans 13 & 1 Peter 2)
Lets put it into perspective of the Kingdom. Suppose your
King issued a royal decree that says that obedience is better than sacrifice
and rebellion is equal to witchcraft (an act punishable by death in the Old
Testament) 1 Samuel 15:22 or that the greatest commandment is to Love the Lord
your God and the second is to love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:38-40.
But instead you say, “We will work with our Lord the King to
change the laws that we are failing to comply with at this time.” How do you
think He would react? What do you think
He would do with servants who disobeyed Him?
The people of this republic have sunk so low that no one is
up in arms over this failure to obey. What happened to honor, respect and duty
by the upper echelons of the military? And how can they expect the rank and
file to obey when they themselves don’t?
For followers of Jesus the only time we are allowed to disobey the government is when it conflicts with God's Law. (see Acts 5:29) Notice how the Apostles reacted those in authority. They were willing to suffer persecution if necessary and not complain about how unfair and unjust the law was. But what about disobeying God's law?

What a shame that believers are just as cavalier with their
obedience to God’s law!
God forgive me of my lack of obedience, honor and duty to my
King,
