RECAP & TAKEAWAYS:
- Government is built into creation: The sun rules the day and the moon rules the night.
- Civil Government is under God. It is for your good. Its purpose is to secure life, the conditions for human prospering, and secure spiritual flourishing.
- Tyranny is using public authority for private advantage.
- American government comes from three streams:
- A Christian stream.
- A classical stream.
- An Enlightenment stream.
- The problem of government is how to invest it with enough authority to accomplish God’s purpose and keep it from having too much authority so it abuses its authority.
