What Does The Bible Say About The Christian’s Relationship With The Government?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 25, 2021

What do Paul and Peter have to say about the Christian and government? Is the church allowed to pursue the violent overthrow of secular governments? What should be our focus if it's not the accumulation of earthly power?
