"As the vice-regents of God, we are to bring His truth and His will to
bear on every sphere of our world and our society. We are to exercise
godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools,
our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our
entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors
?
in
short, over every aspect and institution of human society."
? D. James Kennedy, Led By The Carpenter: Finding God's Purpose for Your Life,
Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1999, p. 7.

Government is a legitimate sphere of Christian service, and so we should not look to government only when our rights are being abused. We are to be concerned with social justice and should see governmental action as a legitimate instrument to achieve just ends.
