Subject: Civil Authority: Ministers of God

Bible Note: "What would you do if 911 didn't answer -- if there were no police, no firemen, no national guard, only gang members stealing and murdering without any restraint or retribution? Get this picture very clearly in your eyes, and then read verse four: 'It [the civil authority] is a minister of God to you for good.'" --John Piper
