Join us as Pastors Strong and Hackmann discuss what it all means for us! What is our responsibility to our civil authorities? How do we live as citizens of Civil Government? God calls on us to love respect and pray for those in authority over us – because peace is advantageous to all, and because our government is filled with people for whom Jesus died! God wears the mask of government to serve us and those in our world.

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. Contact the Grace church office to purchase a copy, or else get your copy directly from www.nph.net. There are Kindle or Nook editions available from the appropriate retailers. But you don’t need to have a book to check out the podcast and enjoy the discussion. Thanks for joining us!
