Historical, Political, Government (Christian):
-Please remember, as

authorities. We are actually commanded by our King, the Son of
God, to "obey" and show "honor" to all civil
authorities (Mat 22:16; Rom 13; Titus 3:1-8; 1 Pet 2:13-17; Jude
8-9).
[An excellent tape sermon by Dr. John MacArthur is available for
FREE (only
to first timers) by
mail request to: Email address = letters@gty.org Tape Title = "Obeying
Civil Authorities"
Also see MacArthur's, The Christian & Government (Romans
13:1-7) [A solidly biblical, yet unpopular message about how
Christians should & shouldn't respond to government. Conclusion:
rebellion is wrong!]

Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way that seems right to a man,
but its end is the way of death/destruction"
We certainly are to vote, lobby, and utilize other legal mean
of respectful appeal. But most of all, we are to model the humble
strength of our Lord, His Way of hypotasso (Mat 11:28-30; John
14:6; 1 Pet 2:21-25). And secondly, we are to practice disciplined
discipleship both at home and gathered as the church. We must
equip one another and our children in the Way that will L.E.A.D.
to Restoration (Love - Equipping - Accountability - Discipline).
As the World turns, it is not turning in repentance. And in the
midst of the increasingly anti-Christian atmosphere, we must reflect
the image and character of our Lord Jesus, the fruit of His Spirit
both at home and as the church.

Acts 17:11
Please note that we are not endorsing
all of the content presented in any of the above resources. Both
the Christian and non-Christian resources are listed only for
the specific reasons described in each heading. You are responsible
to practice the Berean principle of Acts 17:11 and examine all
material according to the Scriptures. We believe that the answer to the modern search for
counsel regarding the psyche and its relationships is found
only in Christ's time-tested 2,000 year old provision for soul
care (i.e., His Cross, Spirit, Word, and Church Body). We also
believe that a soulcare ministry should be an integral part of,
and under the authority of a local church fellowship. As such,
fees should not be charged for soulcare ministry. (see our article
re: Money
& Ministry). We believe
the Bible is inerrant and sufficient for all non-organic soulcare
needs, without the admixture of any extra-biblical theories. So
please be aware that we respectfully disagree with many of the
following resources where they do not stand firm regarding these
vital doctrinal issues.
