Listen "Contra Caesar (Romans 13:1-17)"
Episode Synopsis
When is it permissible for the Christian to disobey civil authorities? More specifically, in the current environment, in which secular authorities have already used their political power to shut down houses of worship all across the United States, when is it biblically permissible for the Christian to say, “Enough is enough” and act contra Caesar or against the State? This episode will provide clarity and meaningful answers. Our Scripture focus will be Romans 13:1-7.
