Just finished a series of three 30 minute videos about the Biblical Role of Government with Biblical government expert Doug Lundin. It is eye opening!

We have a problem... we are fallen. We are sinners by nature. God has provided us with three human institutions to deal with this problem: the family, civil government, and the church. Each has a role and a job to do. When one of these three (such as government) tries to do the job of one of the others, things do not go well.
The government's role is that of a minister of justice. The government is to fight evil and they have been given the sword as their tool. The church is a minister of mercy, and uses God's Word. The family's role is economic and the family is responsible for educating the next generation. In these three videos you can see how each is to accomplish their job, and how the government, family and church interact.
