Church and State

Professor Augsburger, in this lecture, appeals to us for greater awareness of the Church and the people of God. The Church is the primary body, through which God is working, in the world today to affect the world for good.  Shows how the Church is ordered by God for good and the well being of all persons.  As government becomes deified, it is the responsibility of the Christian to stand against it.  Christians are to call the state to be the state and the Church to be the Church. The role of the Christian in government is primarily to keep it secular.

Due to the archival nature of the recordings, some of the audio content may not be up to today's digital standards, but nonetheless, the content is still applicable.
