-      <h3>Governing Authorities</h3>
-      <p>
-        Because all Earthly governing authorities are established by God we are
-        commanded to be subject to them, but not above God, to avoid God's wrath
-        and for good conscience. Regardless of the persecution, burden,
-        injustice, we are never to take vengeance into our own hands “Vengeance
-        is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” We are called to respond to evil
-        not with more evil (including war, violence, killing, torture, slander,
-        riots, black-mailing, hatred, etc.) but blessings, peace, love,
-        hospitality “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give
-        him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on
-        his head.” We are called to follow Jesus's example, overcoming evil with
-        good (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
-        gentleness, self-control) offering our bodies as a living sacrifice holy
-        and pleasing to the Lord, unto our own death if it comes to it. In light
-        of evil laws we must obey God rather than men unto our own detriment as
-        we are individually responsible for our actions before the Lord when
-        judgment day comes.

-        We publicly denounce movements inciting rebellion against tyrannical
-        governments. Governments like these are no different than those that
-        brutally murdered and persecuted the Apostles and early Christian
-        Church. Jesus and the Apostles never patterned for us to organize as
-        militia, mercenaries in response to tyranny. We denounce the taking up
-        of physical weapons and instead take up spiritual weapons as scripture
-        commands us because our battle is not against flesh and blood, but
-        against spiritual forces of evil. We denounce movements that mirror the
-        Zealots during Jesus' lifetime. These include Christian Nationalism,
-        Dominion theology, Theonomy, Christian Reconstructionism, Dominion Now.
