In this Q&A, we provide a Biblical framework and foundation for Christians to clearly understand and apply Romans 13 to our current situation.

When God talks about destroying the world, He's not talking the physical earth or world, because it is what He so Loved He gave His only Begotten Son, but it is this world's system (Satanic). Which God created but has become Behemoth (Monster), full of the ism of The Devil (Satan, The Dragon, That Old Serpent), of only He can vanquish.

Pastor Schwertley reads from Lex, Rex (Whether All Christian Kings Are Dependent from Christ) by Rutherford.

How should we then vote? In part 1 of the 2 part series on God and Government, we consider various questions in relation to Romans 13:1-7. We begin to answer these questions through the lens of Samuel Rutherford's 1644 volume LEX REX. Matthew Vogan of Reformation Scotland and Dr. David Innes, professor of Political Science at the King's College in Manhattan give historical background to the book, present its basic points, and apply them to the current political situation in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Thought-provoking program.

Church government is based on the Bible and is conducted by qualified men who are chosen representatives.

Puritan Hard Drive http://ow.ly/fPY4o If you love the Bible, then you may well be Reformed. If you think of yourself as Reformed, but you have seldom or have never read older Reformed literature, prepare to be challenged. The Puritan Hard Drive provides primary sources and depth of theological and spiritual insight which is lacking in much of what is passed off as genuine Reformed theology. If you think of yourself as conservative, the older Puritan and Reformed authors will help you sort reality from myth in your quest to be truly Reformed. There are more solid resources for less money here than anywhere else. I highly recommend you take responsibility for your soul and spend a few shekels for this cup of cold water in the midst of the modern religious desert. Jim Dodson, Reformed Presbyterian (Covenanter) Scholar, http://www.covenanter.org/ If you want to understand Reformed theology (i.e., the whole counsel of God) the Puritan Hard Drive is unsurpassed, outside the Bible itself. The First and Second Reformations gave us the most faithful Scriptural teaching and preaching since the time of the Apostles, and there is no other resource, outside Scripture itself, where you can find so much of God's truth as in the Puritan Hard Drive (http://ow.ly/fPY4o). May the Lord continue to use this most profitable tool to promote a Third Reformation that encompasses the whole world (Isaiah 2:2-4)!

To understand American Political Institutions, we must see them heirs to 1500 years of controversy in the adjustment between church and state. The Reformation in England began with a return to Caesaropapism coupled with a Divine Right of Kings theory of government.

Main Sermon Points: [1] King Zedekiah, the "minister of God," served as the higher magistrate in Judah. [2] Ebed-melech, the "minister of God," served as a lesser magistrate in Judah.

A new motion picture tells the powerful story of the young Dutch men and women who resisted the Nazi tyranny during World War II, saving hundreds of innocent lives. These brave men and women defended the lives of Jews and organized a resistance that hampered the Nazi occupation. Kevin Swanson interviews Dr. Peter Spencer and Petra Pierce, producers of this impacting story, and discusses how young people need to be trained to resist tyrants--because resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.

Three convicting challenges from Bro. Sparklin about making a difference in our Christian lives.

During the Middle Ages the Church sought supremacy over the state, but ever since the Reformation the state has asserted primacy over the church. At stake has been weather a church can appoint its own ministers, be sued for executing discipline or be forced to pay into a tax that violates its own teachings. In this episode of Generations Dave Buehner interviews Lael Weinberger co –author of the new book “A Tale of two Governments” about the separation of Church and State, its roots and some recent court victories for doctrine of two separate governments under God.

In this the fifth of five lectures on War and Capital Punishment, Dr. Tony Curto takes on the difficult subject of Civil War and Rebellion against the Civil Magistrate. In Particular he contrasts Calvin's approach to Revolution in the Institutes to Rutherford's approach in Lex Rex and develops the theology of obedience to the lesser magistrate.

Spurgeon said, 'What a wealth of spiritual ravishment we have here! Rutherford is beyond all praise of men. Like a strong-winged eagle he soars into the highest heaven and with unblenched eye he looks into the mystery of love divine.' Continuing, he comments, 'let the world know that Spurgeon held Rutherford's Letters to be the nearest thing to inspiration which can be found in all the writings of men... none penetrated further into the innermost heart of holy fellowship with Jesus. Whenever we think of him we compare him to Milton's Uriel, the angel that stood in the sun itself.' Richard Baxter commented, 'Hold off the Bible, such a book as Mr. Rutherford's Letters, the world never saw the like.' And Cecil notes, 'It is one of my classics. Were truth the beam, I have no doubt that if Homer, and Virgil, and Horace, and all that the world has agreed to idolize, were weighed against that book, they would be lighter than vanity. He is a real original' (Remains cited in Johnston's The Treasury of the Scottish Covenant). Walker adds his voice to this chorus of praise noting that these letters 'stand all alone in religious literature...' (Theologians..., p. 8).
