    We always associate a hearse with death. What about baptism? How do we look at baptism? Doesn’t baptism represent death to an old way of life and the beginning of new life as a new creature in Christ? Paul said it did!

    Does our faith permit us to disobey the government or to evade taxes? Are Romans 13 and Acts 5 incompatible? How can we sincerely and creatively live as citizens of two kingdoms? What is the underlying principle that governs our choices?
