The powers that be...

Are they ordained of God?

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

--ROMANS 13.1-7

The above verses teach that the the powers that be (in other words 'the government') are ordained of God.  Some say we are to SUBMIT, and COMPLY with them because they are NOT A TERROR TO GOOD WORKS, BUT TO THE EVIL.  Really?  Do you believe this?  Can anyone honestly discern that today's rulers are a TERROR TO THE EVIL?  Really?  Think again...
