Editor,
For those believers of scripture who struggle with the obvious trend of a secularized and humanistic civil government imposing itself on our life, liberty, and property and the words of Romans 13 about the duty and function of the civil magistrate and to what extent we are to be submissive to that civil government, I recommend that you read Romans 13 – The True Meaning of Submission by Timothy and Chuck Baldwin.
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Ephesians 5:11
Reprove, verb transitive [Latin reprobo; re and probo, to prove.]
1. To blame; to censure. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices - Psalms 50:8.
2. To charge with a fault to the face; to chide; to reprehend. Luke 3:19.
3. To blame for; with of; as, to reprove one of laziness.
4. To convince of a fault, or to make it manifest. John 16:8.
5. To refute; to disprove. [Not in use.]
6. To excite a sense of guilt. The heart or conscience reproves us.
7. To manifest silent disapprobation or blame.
The vicious cannot bear the presence of the good, whose very looks reprove them, and whose life is a severe, though silent admonition.
