What Christians Should Know


Episode 2.11c: The Christian and the State

December 16, 2016

How should a Christian relate to the State (civil government), those in positions of secular authority and society-at-large? How should a Christian relate to governments that behave badly? Does God have a preference for which political party His followers belong to? Intelligent faith provides clarity and meaningful answers to these pressing questions in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election.


In Part III we will talk about justice, a concept in the Bible that is often overlooked and misunderstood. We will learn about how God is a God of justice and how He expects secular authorities and everyday people to strive in order to make things right. We will end by using our prophetic imagination and analyze how far the West has strayed away from God's prescriptions of how the State should operate.
