Pastor/Dr. David Murphy continues the introduction to Romans Chapter 13 and the believer's relationship and duties to civil authorities. Several concerns of today will lead to biblical clashes between the church and the government, like: sodomy, gender issues and dysphoria, transgender issues, family issues, abortion, and school curriculum. Democracy cannot survive without a moral base, and as the nation deteriorates, evil men elect an evil government. Should a Christian ever get involved with anything political? We'll look at the examples of Joseph, Daniel, Moses, the Matthew 8 centurion, Zacchius, and Cornelius. The Christian can be involved in the state and government, but the church must never become politicized. The duties of the Christian are 1-to submit to the government and 2-to pay taxes.
