Leaders and those who are in authority are to obey God's commands, follow His righteousness, disciple evil-doers, and protect the innocent. When leaders, including church leaders, hand down unjust decisions by favoring the wicked, they will achieve no good. Blinded by their own ignorance, they will continue to wander in darkness without the light and blessing of God's presence.
"God presides over heaven's court;
He pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings:
'How long will you hand down unjust decisions
by favoring the wicked?
Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
Rescue the poor and helpless;
deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
But these oppressors know nothing;
they are so ignorant!
They wander about in darkness."
Psalm 82:3-5 (NLT)
