There has always been a controversy over the relationship of the church and the government. How should we as Christian\'s and God\'s people react to an ungodly government such as we have today? The Lord tell us plainly in His word that we are to respect the government of the land and to obey the laws. This is true because the people need certain restraints to stop the chaos and the breaking of the laws which come from sin. However the government of any given country, including ours, is just like anything else: They are subject to God\'s laws and His instruction. God, in the Scriptures, says the government is His servant to you {the people} for good. Now What does that mean? It is really simple, if you read and study God\'s word you will soon see in detail what our Lord means! When any government abandons its proper roll or function it stops being the governing body that the Lord designed. Let me make that even more plainer for those of you that are having a hard time with what I\'m saying. When a government puts into place a law that does not agree with God\'s law we are to oppose it and speak out against it because it is no longer blessed by God!
