GOVERNMENT
Is God in charge, or is the government? This video explains that while God is the ultimate authority, He has given governments the job of promoting good and resisting evil. Children learn that the Bible teaches us to obey and participate in government—unless it asks us to disobey God. It’s a thoughtful and age-appropriate introduction to how Christians can live as good citizens and faithful followers of Jesus.
