Good then you should agree with the sermon GOPPachyderm just posted (see my last post above).
So far, he seems to be making the distinction that we don’t obey rulers when they ask us to perform unrighteous acts; I don’t know if I have time for an hour sermon this morning, but was there some other part of the sermon you were referring to?
I did use the sermon to clean my desk. I like this guy. I think he may put off “the government upon His shoulder” a bit too far for my taste, but otherwise I think he struck a fair balance in the role of the government that we don’t hear much these days; John MacArthur, in particular, tends to be a Romans 13 “Absolutist.” (Obey Caligula, Obey Stalin, Obey Hitler.)
