St. Paul Lutheran Church

Roman Christians at the time of Nero faced this dilemma that might sound familiar: How do you relate to the civil authorities when publicly they say one thing and privately do another? How do you obey, as a Christian, when it seems like the rulers you are asked to obey are obscured by propaganda, so you never know the truth? The answer that Paul gives in Romans 13 helps us better understand what God is doing in the world around as we live in the tension of being citizens of Two Kingdoms.
