Too many feel that they are above the law, but paradoxically, laws proliferate when corruption prevails. We must be subject to all law, God's and man's.

If we govern ourselves, God will take care of us. Government of any kind will not work unless people govern their own nature. Self-control enables us to show love.

As obnoxious as tyrannical power may seem, we have the obligation to behave lawfully. Even the vilest of leaders has been allowed by God to rule.

For 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.

We dare not allow anybody to come between God's direct governance and ourselves. Even God's government will not work unless we voluntarily govern ourselves.

We need free moral agency to be transformed into God's image. Unless one has God's Spirit, he cannot exercise the internal control to be subject to the way of God.

Regardless of whether one submits to God, government, or community, self-government is the best means to having a safe, smooth course toward an objective.

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.

Only 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 run by carnal men will never work, but those under the New Covenant, having God's law written on their hearts, can make any form of government work.

Our attitude toward government must be one of submission. The church cannot perform its function without the cooperation of the carnal civil governments.

God 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.

The ministry's authority consists of teaching, edifying, and equipping the members for sainthood, but not to wield dictatorial power over their lives.

The solution to all of man's problems begins incrementally when each called-out person turns his life around, governing himself rightly by yielding to God.

Submitting to a human government is a work that requires self-government. Paul thoroughly disciplined his body as he followed the example of Jesus Christ.

The New Covenant, wherein God writes His law on the heart and gives His Spirit, empowers God's people to obey without the need for external control.

Every form of human government established on this earth has been established as an attempt to declare independence from the sovereignty of God.

Expectation of reward, fear of disadvantage, and charisma all constitute the chemistry of government and childrearing, but require the right proportion.

If a people turn from righteousness, a natural consequence is greater human oversight in one form or another. This is seen in the world and the church.

Every human government that has ever existed, including the American constitutional republic, has been flawed because it has not looked to God for what is right and wrong.

Jesus does not want 'serving' through iron-fisted control and ruling by fear, nor does He mean 'benevolently' doing for them what they can do for themselves.

If Christians had taken care of their families in the first place, despotic governments would have not metastasized to the dangerous level they are now.

Government may be the most important subject in the Bible because it touches on how Christians are to govern themselves under the sovereignty of God.

Our responsibility is to yield to God's sovereignty. Nevertheless, God has enabled us to freely sin, but holds us responsible for governing ourselves.

The founding of the United States and the other nations of modern Israel was not random or accidental, but purposely orchestrated by our Creator.

God's people (as ambassadors and pilgrims) must pledge their hearts, minds, and allegiance to the coming Kingdom of God, which will last forever.

James Madison and the other founding fathers realized that a democratic republic would only work in a godly, moral, or Christian administration.

A true Christian is sanctified by a specific body of beliefs and how he lives. No mainstream church in America has ever yielded itself to the right doctrines.

In the peace offering, Christ is the priest, offeror, and offering. Since all parties share the peace offering as a meal, it exemplifies a peaceful communion.
