WHEN DO CHRISTIANS RESIST A GOVERNMENT THAT KILLS ITS CITIZENS? By John Piper
“Woe to us if we think the church has to have a good reputation in order to do what it’s called to do.”
THE LIMITS OF SUBMISSION TO MAN
Romans 13:1–7 has often been used to justify an unseemly conformity to the status quo in this country and in others.
