1 Peter 2.17 says, Honor all men, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the King. Presidents Day is a bit of a strange occasion that takes place on the third Monday of February each year. It's a good excuse for retailers to offer Presidents Day sales, and it gives the kids in school an excuse to hold special events during the school day. But most adult Americans do nothing even remotely related to remembering or honoring past presidents on Presidents Day. Even government workers who get the day off won't do much of anything for the most part. Most people aren't even sure what to do. The fact is, most people don't even know how to write the words Presidents Day. Our title for this video has no apostrophe. It's just plural, president, with an S on the end, and a lot of others do that. Some put an apostrophe before the final S, spelling it P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T, apostrophe S, and my spellcheck tries to force me to do that. But others put the apostrophe after the S, making it possessive, as a day that belongs to the presidents. So which is right? I don't know. Does it matter? Not really. But it represents the confusion you find when you dig into President's Day. Just how many presidents are there? Someone says, well, that's easy. Joe Biden is the 46th president. Yes, but beyond the fact that he stole the election and was installed and not elected, he isn't really the 46th president because Grover Cleveland is counted twice. Cleveland was elected to a term beginning in 1885 but lost in 1889 to Benjamin Harrison of Ohio. Then in 1892, Cleveland ran again and beat Harrison, and the presidential historians count him twice since his two terms were not consecutive. George Washington and Ronald Reagan served two terms, but they're only counted once because their terms were consecutive. FDR served three full terms and was elected to a fourth and then died during the first year of that term, yet FDR is only counted once. But that's how the presidential count is made. So whether we're celebrating the 46 presidents while ignoring that one is counted twice, and whether we use an apostrophe or not, and if so, no matter where we stick it. What exactly are we celebrating? Who exactly are we honoring? The Bible says in Romans 13, 7, Render therefore to all their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. But is honor due to terrible presidents like Joe Biden? Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson? Should we honor Woodrow Wilson when his progressive policies were so destructive and he sacrificed nearly 120,000 American lives in World War I after promising not to get America involved in that war? The President, even if he's as young as Theodore Roosevelt was, the youngest ever elected at age 42, the U.S. President is considered an elder statesman to be treated with respect. But Proverbs 16.31 says, the hoary head, meaning silver or gray headed, is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. So do we honor wicked men and women just because they held political power? And how does that translate into observing Presidents Day? My Bible-based answer is to do what you should without violating scripture, of course. Show honor to the office of the president and honor the man in office as far as you can in good conscience while following the example of John the Baptist, who told Herod Antipas in Matthew 14 that he was breaking God's law by stealing his brother Philip's wife, whose name was Herodias. It eventually cost John his head, but John stuck to his convictions and courageously spoke truth to power. I believe most of our deceased presidents were unsaved men who went to hell upon their death. And I don't believe a single one of the six living presidents right now at the time of this recording are born-again believers in Jesus Christ, so they'll wake up in hell when they die if they don't repent. But I can honor those who kept their oath, or at least honor specific moments when they kept their oath, to uphold, defend, and protect our divinely ordained Constitution. For that reason, I really don't do much in observance of President's Day. But it does save me a trip to the mailbox if I remember that it's President's Day.
