In this second lecture, Derin Stidd tackles one of the most misunderstood issues in the modern church: the limits of civil government. When should Christians submit, and when must they resist? What happens when rulers command what God forbids—or forbid what God commands?Stidd walks through Romans 13, Acts 5, and Deuteronomy 17, showing that true submission to authority always presupposes obedience to God first. Authority is legitimate only when it operates within the bounds of God’s law. When rulers defy those bounds, they forfeit their moral legitimacy.This lecture exposes the idolatry of statism and the cowardice of churches that bow to it. Stidd calls believers to rediscover the biblical principle of lesser magistrates, the duty of resistance under tyranny, and the courage to stand when obedience to man would mean disobedience to Christ.📖 Main Texts: Romans 13:1–7, Acts 5:29, Deuteronomy 17:14–20, Daniel 3#ObeyGodDefyTyrants #Romans13 #ChristianResistance #BiblicalAuthority #Theonomy #CivilDisobedience #Reformation #ChristIsKing
