Christians are faced with the dilemma of choosing to obey the laws of the land or the laws of God. Such a choice is easy until fines, imprisonment, and death are the consequences of disobeying the laws of men. The choice to obey God is simple, but the consequences make your life more difficult, painful, and complicated. In all cases, it is obedience to God to obey the higher authority. Obeying God Is never rebellion. Listen to the story of Obadiah Holmes in this lesson and how Baptists engaged vigorously in government affairs to fight for freedom, especially for religious freedom for all, to believe as their consciences dictate. These Baptists understood that being involved in government was not about forcing others to believe as they did. This was about allowing truth to prevail in civil discussion, proclamation, and persuasion with God's Word. Leadership in civil government should come from followers of Christ. This is God's design for civil government.
