Civil Government Chapter 10

Pastors Strong and Hackmann follow our historical journey from the Middle Ages until the time of Luther.  Chapter 10 of Civil Government follows through the problems and pitfalls of what has happened in history when Church and State are intermingled.  See how the Church lost her way and how the gospel was hidden in this dark period in history, largely because church and state tried to play each other’s role.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT

As Christians living in this world, we are citizens of two kingdoms. The first is the spiritual kingdom that we are a part of by the grace of God and the work of Jesus! The second kingdom of which we are citizens is an earthly kingdom that is ruled over by civil governments. God gives us civil governments to keep us safe and to be a blessing to all people. Governments take care of their citizens and provide safety, comfort and assistance to their people. In this podcast series, we will be looking at what God says to us about how to glorify him as citizens of earthly kingdoms.  Check out our discussion of the book “Civil Government” from the People’s Bible Teachings Series from Northwestern Publishing House.
