What is the Christian standard concerning civil disobedience? In his message today, Pastor Terry explains that Christians are called to submit to those in authority unless such authority contradicts God’s word. Many biblical examples prioritized obedience to God over compliance with human laws. We must be prepared to uphold what is right and accept any consequences that result. When a nation acts unjustly, it is sometimes necessary to stand for truth. This must always be done with respect.

Submission to those in authority is often challenging, particularly when we disagree with our leaders. Today, Pastor Terry discusses how Paul, Peter, and Jesus each instruct us to respect individuals in governmental leadership. To follow this teaching, we must trust in God’s sovereignty, recognizing that God appoints nations and permits their rulers to rise and fall. Submitting to our authorities reflects our submission to God. We should exemplify Christian character by obeying the law.
