- Should Government obligate or mandate a state or national religion?
- Should Christians vote only for Christian candidates?
- Is there a time when a Christian shouldn’t vote at all?
- Is it a sin not to vote?
- When is civil disobedience allowed or permissible? Can you provide an example/s?
- What is separation of church and state according to the constitution?
- Is all government evil and of the devil?
- Should we just focus on evangelism and forget politics?
- What is the difference between Liberalism and conservatism?
- Should we just focus on politics and get rid of evangelistic efforts?
- Should government exclude religion from everything?
- What is the obligation of all Christian citizens?
- Should pastors teach on political issues?
- Is the Constitution a living document or is it a fixed document?

These are some of the questions we will attempt to answer from a biblical prospective tomorrow. These questions and issues have come out frequently in the history of the church and our nation. We should be knowledgeable and prepared to answer them with a biblical prospective when necessary. Please don’t forget your spot in Hebrews 3:7-4:13. We will return to this passage again. Continue to review it so that it stays fresh in your mind.
