What is our responsibility to government? First, Titus 3:1 – we are to be in subjection to their laws (cf. Rom. 13:1-5; 1 Pet. 2:13-15). I believe you have heard before that when the Apostles wrote for the need to submit to governing officials, the evil Roman leader Nero was in power who made it a pleasure of his to torture and kill Christians. Second, Romans 13:7 – we are to respect them (cf. 1 Pet. 2:17). I am always saddened when people make vile comments and threats to leaders. I feel that way about our current President and I felt that way about our former President. Even Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from the Book of Daniel respected the King, despite his call for them to engage in idolatry or die. Third, 1 Timothy 2:1-3 – we are to pray for them. Fourth, Romans 13:7 – we are to pay our taxes (cf. Mt. 22:17-21). However, since God is our ultimate authority, we are never to obey when they demand us to violate His commands (Dan. 6:10; Mt. 2:7-12; Ac. 5:29).

INSTRUCTIONS

COOKING THE SEPHARDIC WAY
This dish is traditionally served for Passover.
Wash, cut up and parboil leeks approximately 10 minutes or until tender.
Drain off all water, squeeze, and chop very fine. Mix leeks with remaining
ingredients. Shape into small patties and fry.
Note: Our family always makes these in advance. After cooking, lemon juice
is poured over and they are refrigerated. They taste delicious when
reheated the next day.
