This is the second sermon in the series "The Crisis of Government". First sermon we examined the creation of the civil sphere. In this sermon we study the purpose of the civil sphere. What is the purpose? What happens when the civil government fulfills its purpose? What happens when the civil sphere violates its purpose? Romans 13 is not designed to allow Christian citizens to obey every law, rule or regulation of the civil government. In that vein, we also take a brief look at the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence and its roots in Christianity.
