The Epistle To The Romans Chapter 13 (21 of 25)
Harley Howard
Before we get into the crux of the message on the
responsibility of the believers towards one another,
we must look at this area of the believer's

Many Christians and so-called Christian leaders, armed
with this knowledge, have taken it upon THEMSELVES
today to attempt to revise the system of government by
electing so-called Christian candidates and sending
