What Is the Role of Government in Society? | Hope for Us (Part 5)

[my_shortcode]

Pastor Phil closes out the Hope for Us series by pointing out that our liberties and rights as Christians ultimately don’t come from the government. They come from God.  

What is the role of government in society? How one views the role of government in society is a biblical issue. The biblical worldview of America’s Founding Fathers was that God, not government, is the giver of our fundamental rights. 

Our Founding Fathers' biblical understanding caused them to set up a system limiting government authority that would maximize personal liberty. The role of government is maximized in a society where the role of God is minimized.  

3 things to remember as we anticipate the upcoming election:  

  1. Remember, voting is a Kingdom issue, not a political issue. 
  2. Pray for our nation and elected leaders.  
  3. Remember, HOPE FOR US is in Jesus. 

Why should Christians be involved in the institutions that shape American civilization? Because godly people have the power to bring godly outcomes. 

Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he closes out our Hope for Us by discussing what is the role of government in society.
