The proud are described here as irresponsible tyrants who disregard God's law. Every human being is responsible to God, to acknowledge His laws. As Christians our assignment and responsibility is to advance God's Kingdom in the earth and in every realm and strata of society. We are not called to be Democrats or Republicans. We are called to be sons and daughters of God in a dark humanistic, atheistic, secular world. We are to bring about God's love and salvation, and also His laws and principles. We are a principled people! And, our principles are not the principles of our race, neighborhoods, families, or pocket books. Our principles are the laws of God as revealed in Holy Scripture.
 
Let us not forget that we believers are called, "A holy nation." 1 Peter 2:9. Actually that is somewhat of a misnomer. The Greek word for nation is actually, "Ethnos." Our English word, "Ethnicity" comes from this Greek word. The Scripture is really saying that we believers comprise a new and holy ethnicity in and of itself! That's why the Amplified Bible translates 1 Peter 2:9 this way, "But you are a chosen race...". That's right, Christianity, where old things have passed away and all things have become new, is a brand new race of people in the earth!
 
Your viewpoints and opinions on everything should come out of your new race, not out of your old one.
 
"Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!"
