Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
–Romans 13:1 (ESV)–

I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
–1 Timothy 2:1-2 (ESV)–

Be submissive to rulers and authorities,
to be obedient, to be ready for every good work.
–Titus 3:1 (ESV)–

American Reformer, “The Vanity of Christless Conservatism.” “God has, moreover, given you by his son Jesus Christ—who is far superior to Moses—a complete revelation of His will and a perfect system of true religion plainly delivered in the sacred writings. It will, therefore, be your wisdom in the eyes of the nations, and your true interest and happiness, to conform your practice in the strictest manner to the excellent principles of your government, adhere faithfully to the doctrines and commands of the gospel, and practice every public and private virtue.”

Institute for Faith and Culture, “Warning: The Devastating Trajectory of Christ-less Conservatism.” “The landscape of American politics and international politics alike is marked by an unsettling trend towards a Christ-less conservatism, where faith has been relegated to the periphery of political discourse. In this alarming shift, self-proclaimed conservatives parade their ideological banners devoid of genuine spiritual grounding, choosing to overlook the sacred teachings that once illuminated their paths. The dangers inherent in this trajectory cannot be underestimated, for to sever the ties between faith and conservatism is to lose the very essence of authenticity. Ridding conservatism of the “permanent things”–i.e., morality, liberty, family–leaves conservatism devoid of its value. It becomes an empty shell.”

Richard Weiss, The American Myth of Success (University of Illinois Press, 1988), p. 42. “The pilgrims, when they landed from the Mayflower–a weary and comfortless group–had little to rely upon but God and their own severe virtues; those virtues which adorn freedom, no less than they become Christianity; which give life, vigor, and endurance to a republic. The first was Industry, without which it was impossible to render their conditions tolerable; in its train followed Frugality, the exercise of which, at all times desirable, was rendered imperious by circumstances; Perseverance, essential to the success of all human efforts…On these virtues, next to Heaven, as on a foundation of rock, did they depend as the chief supports of their independence and prosperity.”
