We don't have to take firearms training classes at the church. That's not part of our discipleship methodology here. No midweek classes on firearm safety. But we are discipling you, not only so you can be better Christians, but one of the things that's going to result from you being a better Christian and you growing in your faith is that you are going to be a better citizen in the left-hand kingdom.
Ever wondered how the Church should relate to civil authorities? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Reconstructing Theology', hosts Phil and Kevin are joined by Morgan Cates to tackle this complex topic. They dive into Romans 13, discussing the biblical guidelines that outline the roles and distinctions between the Church and civil government. The conversation covers why understanding these distinctions is crucial, how believers should approach subjection to governing authorities, and the principles behind maintaining a just society.
Through a detailed examination of key passages, they explore the responsibilities and influence of the Church in today's world. This episode raises important questions about the Church's role in modern governance and offers insights that could reshape your perspective on faith and civic duty.
