Text: 1 Peter 2:13-17

 

 

The church has historically fluctuated between extremes when it comes to our engagement with politics and involvement within government institutions.  We are either overly engaged or neglectfully disengaged.  Peter reminds us that God has a good plan for the government and calls us to realize that as Christians we have an important role to play.  Therefore, he calls us away from the extremes to a better way.  He calls us to service.
