Psalm 94:20-21 says, “Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with you? They gather together against the life of the righteous and condemn innocent blood.” Evil government leaders (“throne of iniquity”) that have no fellowship with God legislate corrupt laws against God’s people resulting in death. Think abortion, same sex “marriage,” too high taxes, immoral business codes, separation of church and state, etc., along with a media that supports them. Such a cultural environment requires God’s people to consistently draw close to him for strength, wisdom and direction.
