DDD: When Government Goes Evil: Who Do You Obey?

from The Washington Defender Podcast · host Brian Noble

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today  What do you do when your government calls evil good and good evil?  Romans 13 tells us to submit to governing authorities—but what about when those authorities demand we disobey God?  From golden calves to killing babies, Scripture is packed with examples of evil governments and faithful believers who said “no.”  Listen in as we explore when it’s time to stand up, fear God, and refuse to bow.  Pastor Brian Noble, in this devotional, unpacks Romans 13 and asks when Christians must refuse to submit to corrupt governing authorities. It contrasts “good” government with “evil” government using biblical examples like Jeroboam’s golden calves and the Hebrew midwives who defied Pharaoh’s order to kill baby boys. The message challenges believers to fear God above rulers, to reject any command that contradicts Scripture, and to be salt and light in the public square. It ends with prayer for government leaders, including specific petitions for their salvation and for a recovery of righteousness, life, and religious freedom.  We are transforming our hearts so we can shape the public square.
