Everything with God comes down to the same thing–the heart. For example, you can tithe, but if you do it grudgingly, it doesn’t count in His eyes (2 Corinthians 9:7). You can prophesy or be a great preacher, but if you are harsh and unkind to others, it doesn’t count for anything (1 Corinthians 13:1-3). […]Read More

To understand what constitutes civil disobedience that is biblically backed, we first must examine what biblical civil disobedience is not–a loophole for policies which you find inconvenient or undesirable.
