Our readings in this series are from the book, The King’s Heart: The Kingdom of God and Civil Government. Here is an excerpt from page 126:
“At the end of the day believers must obey Christ and not allow government in any way to assume the place of God or King Jesus in our lives and ministries. Presently in this country we’re not under much threat of this; however, if you listen carefully, you can hear the thunder rumbling just over the horizon. Political leaders are probing areas where they may thwart Christian conviction and replace Kingdom values and practices with secular priorities. The days may soon be at hand when Christians will have to determine that, for the sake of the Gospel and the honor of Christ, even our own government, which we love and would die for if need be, must be disobeyed.”
You can order The King’s Heart in book form or a free PDF from The Ailbe Bookstore.
