Partnership
Government is one of three institutions God created, and just like the other two institutions—church and family—when government fulfills its God-given design, it is a blessing for our good.
But the government is not able to cast a life-giving vision, foster hope, or create community. That is the domain of the Church of Jesus Christ, who holds the Hope of the Gospel as well as wholistic community through the body of Christ.
So government needs a proper working relationship with the church.
It begins...with bringing pastors, the shepherds of the church, into relationship with elected officials, the shepherds of government.
It grows...through partnership among churches and ministries and working alongside government in its God-ordained role to punish evil and commend the good.
