Responsibility (The “R” in IronGuys)
by
Randy Emon

Every Law Enforcement officer knows they have responsibilities both on and off duty.  Check out what the bible has to say about fulfilling ones responsibilities:

  • Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,  to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men. Titus 3:1-2(NIV)
  • Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men... Colossians 3:23(NIV)
    If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5:8(NIV)
  • From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48b(NIV)
  • Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:7-8(NIV)
  • Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.  Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)
  • And now a word to you fathers. Don’t make your children angry by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction approved by the Lord. Ephesians 6:4(NLT)
  • Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1(NIV)
  • For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,
    you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Romans 8:13 NIV
  • And you should follow my example, just as I follow Christ’s. 1 Corinthians 11:1(NLT)
  • “This, then, is how you should pray:  “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done  on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts,  as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ Matthew 6:9-13(NIV)
  • Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 
  • The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” Acts 2:38-39(NIV)
  • And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. 2 Timothy 2:2(NIV)
  • Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Colossians 3:18-21(NIV)
  • Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. 1 Peter 3:7(NIV)
  • Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates... Deuteronomy 11:18-21(NIV)
  • He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him. Proverbs 13:24(NIV)
  • Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Ephesians 6:10-11(NIV)
