EP - 020: Our Capitol Q&A—Separating Church from State? Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

Hardly ever does a Bible verse or appeal to prayer by a politician on social media go without someone chiming in, "keep your religion out of my politics," or "that violates the separation of church and state.” Atheists push for a religionless America. This episode can help you argue against the idea that the church should stay away from state involvement.

EP - 019: Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Parents are told to be gentle when disciplining their kids. Is gentleness key for government rulers to consider in punishing the crimes of their adult counterparts? These days, tears flow, and snowflakes melt when civil rulers punish evil. Why has society become so weak? Can political leaders put “the fear of God” into criminals using punishments just as severe as their crimes?

EP - 018: "To Obey or Disobey?" Is That Really a Question? Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

Submission, fear, and killing: these sound like movie plots. In today’s podcast, we will hear of them all because they are keywords in Romans 13:2. Our year has been filled with news stories showcasing lawlessness nationwide. Many citizens wonder how to stop the lawless and those plotting evil crimes. Will criminals fear those in authority when they will not enforce the rule of law?

EP - 017: Did God Ordain Hitler? Nov 27, 2020

Show notes

We are familiar with the phrase at the climax of a wedding "by the power vested in me by this state, I now pronounce you man and wife." Do you think political leaders have their own version that allows them the power to do whatever they want whenever they want? Power like Hitler wielded with his plans to achieve his own ends was to the detriment of millions. Does God really approve of the Hitlers of the world and their insane use of power?

EP - 016: Five Earthly Authorities Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

How does Christ mediate His reign on Earth today? He rules by His Spirit and the power of His Holy Word, the Bible, to be sure. But have you ever thought about Heaven delegating its own Authority to human authorities on earth? Is life on planet Earth more tolerable when those in authority lead well?

EP - 015: Our Capitol Q&A Part Two: Who Are You to Judge? Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Did you know that the "Gentle Jesus" actually referred to toxic people as "swine" and "street dogs"? "Who was He to judge?" someone might ask. Does God expect Christians to use their heads and make sober and serious decisions about problem people and even political policies?

EP - 014: Our Capitol Q&A Part One: Who Are You to Judge? Nov 20, 2020

Show notes

In this tense political season have you noticed that Christians engaging in the cultural discussion are asked, "Who are you to judge?" Do you find that interesting? Isn't the person who is asking the question really making a "judgment" about the person to whom they are asking that question?

EP - 013: Limiting Civil Government Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

Civil Government is not the answer to everything. Even though designed by God, it is not the only God ordained institution. Has anyone ever explained to you what God's five institutions are? When each of these institutions run well, life is good on planet earth as God Himself has designed it.

EP - 012: And So It Begins: Civil Government Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

Mulligans and Do Overs are ways golfers and humans try to clear their minds and score cards of past mistakes. Did you know God had to "Start Over" with the human race? He judged and cleared Earth's violent slate in Noah's flood. Afterwards, He instituted civil government to rule on the dry ground of that new "start over" environment. You may not know the first and only law He instituted at that time.

EP - 011 : Do Good Governments Eliminate Evil? Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Martin Luther King Jr. was a champion for justice. He realized that education and heart change mattered but so did laws. Have you heard his comments about how human governments can make "mighty big" changes in culture, like keeping people from lynching people? Laws restrain the heartless!
