Government (Part One)
What is Government?God intended government to be a positive force of bringing order out of chaos, keeping on a straight course, educating, and edifying with necessary laws.
Government (Part Two)
The Old and New CovenantsGod is establishing a spiritual kingdom, with Christ as King, installed at the seventh trump when He will unleash the power of His Kingdom against the world.
Government (Part Three)
The New Covenant's EffectOur attitude toward government must be one of submission. The church cannot perform its function without the cooperation of the carnal civil governments.
Government (Part Four)
The Government TodayFor us to take on the glory of God, we must have the same kind of access to the Father as Christ did, taking on the responsibility of behaving like His sons.
Government (Part Five)
The Problems of the GovernmentOnly those who are governable will be allowed to govern with God. No government will work without each individual submitting in his area of responsibility.
Government (Part Six)
Humility, the Ministry, and AuthorityThe ministry's authority consists of teaching, edifying, and equipping the members for sainthood, but not to wield dictatorial power over their lives.
Government (Part Seven)
Authority of the MinistryThe authority in the ministry is a 'staff position,' given by God, as a gift for equipping the saints for service and for edifying the body of Christ.
