Citizenship
Christians are citizens of two realms: the spiritual and the worldly. As a citizen in both realms, we have certain rights and responsibilities. As citizens of the state, we are to do good -- for conscience sake? (Romans 13:1-7). As the government is ordained by God to reward those who do good and punish the evil doers, we are to support and participate in civic affairs, unless such participation and support leads us to engage in behavior which is in opposition to the stated will of our Lord. Includes: Capital Punishment, Christian Citizenship, Church & State, Community Service, Environment, Education, Human Rights, Hunger/Homelessness, Immigration, Legislation, National, Persecution, Racial Reconciliation, Religious Liberty, Social Issues, War.
