City of Man, Kingdom of God: Why Christians Respect, Obey, and Resist Government

Beschreibung

The American church has forgotten God's design for government. At a time of unprecedented bipartisan government overreach, American Christians are rendering unto Caesar what belongs only to God. When government overreaches, how should Christians respond? Does God want Christians to submit to evil civil leaders? What if government restrictions interfere with worship? "City of Man, Kingdom of God: Why Christians Respect, Obey, and Resist Government" answers these questions by looking first to Scripture, then to church history. Guiding readers through key passages in Genesis, Ecclesiastes, Romans, and the Gospels, Pastor Jesse Johnson traces the broad yet limited scope of authority God has given government. Then he maps out where the Christian's duty to obey begins and ends.
