I am praying that all my families, friends, and readers have not been overly impacted by the winter storm that has moved through the US.

COMMENT I have often written on the subjects of “Christians and Their Duty to Government” and “Government and Its Duty to the People.” The preface to today’s article states: Romans 13 isn’t a slogan or a scare tactic; it’s a doctrine.
