Understanding, or perhaps misunderstanding, the relationship between God and rulers, church and state, Christians and government, is not a new concept. We see examples from throughout the Bible of Christians struggling with the proper balance between these and, in many cases, just plain getting it wrong. In our sermon series that begins this weekend, we will look at what God has to tell us in his Scriptures about how we should properly view things like government, conspiracy theories, war, peace, and the stress that all of these things can put on the mind and the conscience of a Christian.
