@SuperLutheran @Pinochet_Pepe Hebrews 12:12 ESV:
"Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees"
I think this out of context cherry picked Bible verse completely proves that skipping leg day is indeed an abomination before the Lord.

You've made it to another Sunday beloved, come, lay your burden at the cross and rest a while.
Go to church.

LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS EVE TROUBLESHOOTING
I HATE THE ANTICHRIST
I HATE THE ANTICHRIST

It is Christmas Eve beloved and also the 4th Sunday of Advent, a real two for one deal if your pastor wants to work twice on one Sunday.
As we gather for worship say a prayer for the volunteers working the audio mixers tonight and everyone else who is putting work in to make the Christmas services special.

You're a Knight of the Round Table.
You've been on a quest to find the Holy Grail for years, travelling the land, doing honourable deeds, and slaying wicked beasts.
Finally, you are rewarded and the Grail appears before you:
-
The dollar store potato scallops taste bad.
The curried sausages I made taste bad.
Suffering.

@Hypershell @Zerglingman I also struggle with Romans 13:1-7 but before we try and dodge what St Paul is getting at we should examine ourselves. Are we struggling to understand how God can put a ruler in place who will actively persecute His Church? Are we looking for an approved way to rise in rebellion against these rulers?
I would encourage you to have a listen to @SuperLutheran series on Romans: soundcloud.com/verylutheran/sets/going-through-romans to really understand what St Paul is getting at in this Epistle.
How I've come to terms with Romans 13:1-7 is that God puts people in positions of authority for His purposes. But the person still has the choice to be a good or bad servant of God. So we don't have an excuse to disrespect rulers or refuse to honour them because they persecute us. Nor do we have an excuse to not follow the law of the land or so on.
But there are limits here as if the earthly ruler would put us in a position where by following their law we go against God's Law. We are to obey God and disobey the earthly ruler. But this disobedience is peaceful for as long as it is possible to resist peacefully.

@SuperLutheran @MK2boogaloo @Hypershell @Zerglingman To add to Super's response there are also the words Jesus cries out while on the Cross as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark:
>And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)
>And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34)
So some of the people present heard Jesus cry out "Eli" (Matthew) or "Eloi" (Mark) and thought they heard "Elijah". His words on the Cross are also a direct reference to and fulfillment of Psalm 22.
And for why Jesus asks why God the Father has forsaken Him. Super has covered that well but I think it also shows us a very raw look at Jesus the man. He was already tortured near to death before being nailed to the Cross and now here at the moment of His death in extreme suffering He cries out. I hesitate to say that Jesus cries out in weakness, because He isn't weak, but I lack the words to explain it in a better way.
I think we have a habit of seeing Jesus as only divine, forgetting His human nature as the Son of man. But by reading the Gospels and seeing what He went through for us, what He truly experienced and the suffering He bore even before the Cross. By reading and understanding this we see Jesus the man who being fully human but also fully divine experienced the human condition fully. Though He is without Sin He was not without suffering.
