Service in the Bible: Ephesians 6:5-8
This somewhat controversial passage exhorts slaves to their obey their masters as they do Christ. While this has been taken out of context as support for the evil institution of slavery, it seems rather intended to encourage us to persevere in whatever place life has placed us, secure in the knowledge that the work we do for Christ will last long after earthly authorities have passed away.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Slaves No More - #9188 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I can only imagine the unspeakably deep feelings of my African-American brothers and sisters with the historic inauguration of America’s first black President. The milestone stands at the pinnacle of a story that begins with slave ships, shackles, segregation and shame. What could have been more degrading than to be owned by another human being and listed as property? It’s no wonder many of those slaves risked their lives trying to be free. History tells us that some who made it out were buried with just four telling words on their tombstones: “Born slave, died free.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - When Slaves Go Free - #9185 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
With Martin Luther King’s birthday approaching, I remember the amazing story of John Parker. ... I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and John Parker had it made. After two attempts to escape being a slave to a Southern slave owner, he’d finally gotten his freedom, and he chose to live in Ripley, Ohio on the freedom side of the Ohio River. He got a house and a good job; ultimately, owned a foundry. He was safe, secure and successful. ... But night after night, John Parker risked it all.

The Bible and Government - Faith Facts
Many people today reject the notion that the Bible should be used as a basis for law. "Narrow minded and outdated!" they say. Ideas have consequences. Let's examine the implications if the Bible, and ultimately God, is or is not the standard for society and its legal system.
