Psalms 2:12 Get things in order with the Son or he will be angry and you will be destroyed by your rebellion, because his anger may ignite at any moment. All who take refuge in him are fortunate.

Many leaders today take great pains to get themselves in order with their political backers, but not enough trouble to get themselves squared away with Jesus. He is the friend we really need in a crisis.
The problem is often that we fail to believe that Jesus is powerful enough to destroy those who ignore him. He is.
