God and Government - Part 4
Series God and Government
INTRO: We left off in our last message, in the section of the government of the kings. We saw how Israel went against the advice of Samuel and the Lord and chose a king. The king must be of Jewish descent. He was not to multiply horses to himself. He was not to have many wives and he was not to multiply silver and gold to himself. Last, he was to write out a copy of the books of Moses and study them all his life. We looked at the task of a king as set out in Scripture and the requirement of both king and people. In short, they were to trust and obey the Lord. Then we looked at one last important point: the separation of the secular from the sacred. I mentioned that it has big implications for the doctrine we would later come to know as the separation of Church and state.
