I have heard quite a bit of chatter as of late about what the Christian response is to the new health care policy and the general direction of our country. There have been quite a few brush fires in various Christian circles calling for various forms of resistance. As a pastor this motivates me to think and write about these things. However, I don’t think I could be as clear and as brief as Dr Mohler was in his recent article.
Here is a sample of what he wrote in his article entitled, Render unto Caesar? On Paying Taxes After Obamacare

The relationship of the Christian to the secular government is fraught with moral questions. Nevertheless, even though the New Testament does not offer a complete primer for Christian citizens on all matters of politics and policy, it does contain clear affirmations to which all faithful believers are obligated.
