Five Wrong Views About Christians and Government, Part 1

July 3, 2018

There are five aberrant views of Church and State. In the coming weeks, I will discuss those views as we continue to examine the biblical position on Church and State, or as I title here, Christians and Government. Following those studies, I will present the flipside: A proper biblically-reasoned understanding of Church and State.

Let us maintain an emphasis on personal spiritual growth as we study together...

Forgiveness can be a difficult discipline to practice, but it is an indispensable character quality that must be continually cultivated over a lifetime. To be unforgiving is to pander to the old nature which Scripture tells the believer he should lay aside; to be unforgiving is to feed the desires of the flesh.

In this week’s passage for study, we will observe the important scriptural differentiation between intellectual assent only — versus that intellectual understanding that is the pathway to a volitional commitment of the will to Christ. To think that being married to Christ is nothing more than a mental acknowledgement of His existence is, scripturally speaking, a woeful error! Hopefully by the end of the study you will have a clearer and better understanding of this distinction.

Parents are to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). This is not a suggestion; it is a God-ordained responsibility, a privilege to be extremely passionate about. May both husband and wife commit afresh and anew to this God-given responsibility that benefits not only the child, family, and society in the present and the future, but also the Kingdom of God.

How many times have you heard someone respond to your biblically based reason with, “Well, that’s a matter of your own interpretation.” How do you respond when someone tries to neutralize your authoritative use of the Bible? How should you respond? Perhaps you’ve even given up using the Bible authoritatively because of this. This study should encourage and help you if that is the case.

Remember the words of the Apostle Paul who said, I discipline my body and make it my slave . . . (1Corinthians 9:27). Here is what Solomon had to say regarding alcohol to his son who would someday lead the nation.

How you view the inspiration of Scripture — was it penned by God or is it a fabrication of man — is critically important relative to what is authoritative in your life. My God bless and buoy your confidence in His Book as a result of this week’s study.

You are leading the United States at a time when the world is filled with violence, aggression and conflict, and some nations are even attacking their own innocent civilian citizens. As you make decisions about when to engage in conflict or war, learning what Scripture has to say about the principles of war is critically important.

If Jesus calls believers to be peacemakers, how can a Christian justify war? This week and next, given the threat of war with Syria, Iran, and North Korea, let us investigate more fully what the Scriptures have to say about war.

"I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live…” Galatians 2:20). The biblical orientation of one’s thought life more than suggests that we get our minds off of ourselves and focus instead on the One who saved us! Biblical thinking at this point — this mental exercise of exchange — is the only way to truly and completely mortify personal pride...

This week I would like to dig into one of the most important passage in the entire Bible. It will lend great light on the historic arguments regarding the doctrine of salvation: is justification from one’s sin accomplished by faith alone or is something needed in addition?
