The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 219 The United States of America was founded on a very particular view of the people's right relationship to government authority that can be, and was, summarized by the famous phrase, "Resistance against tyrants is obedience to God." But, many have wondered, even in our present day, what about the injunctions of Paul's famous Romans 13, which demands we obey our civil authorities, for they are ordained by God for our good through that role? This crucial question loomed very large through the Covid-19 abuses and has ever since, including in the American churches. The definitively American answer to the question was given as a sermon (https://lc.org/PDFs/A%20Discourse%20Concerning%20Unlimited%20Submission%20and%20Non-Resistance%20to%20the%20Higher%20Powers%20-%20Jonathan%20Mayhew%20-%201750.pdf) in Massachusetts Colony in 1750, however, by a fiery young Congregationalist named Jonathan Mayhew, and this sermon laid bedrock under what would become the United States. "A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non-Resistance to the Higher Powers," he called it. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads the majority of this sermon to you with as much passion as he can muster so that you, too, can hear this incredibly important message, 276 years after it was first preached.

Here, the Apostle addresses believers' relationship to government and their responsibility to pay taxes.

New King James Version:Submit to Government13 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.Love Your Neighbor8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Romans 13 is one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture. It is often reduced to a simple command to obey the government, but Paul is making a much deeper point. God created governing authority for a specific purpose: to establish order, promote good, and punish evil. That means government is accountable to God, not the other way around. When the state oversteps its God-given role and begins to replace God as the definer of truth and morality, Christians are not called to silent compliance. Submission to authority is the starting point, not the whole story. God has placed His people in every sphere of life, from the home to the workplace to the public square, to be salt and light. Christians are not passive observers. They are His representatives wherever He has placed them.

Subjection to powers

How should Christians live in a world that doesn't always reflect God's values?In this study of Romans 13, we examine what it means to be citizens of heaven while living under earthly governments. Paul teaches that Christians are called to respect governing authorities, fulfill the law through love, and ultimately give their highest allegiance to King Jesus. As we await Christ's return, we're challenged to live as people of light—overcoming evil with good and putting on Christ every day. In this lesson, you'll discover: What Romans 13 teaches about government and Christian citizenship  When Christians should submit to governing authorities  Why our ultimate loyalty belongs to God's kingdom  What it means to "owe no one anything except love"  How to live each day in anticipation of Christ's return Scripture: Romans 13If this lesson encouraged you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share to help others grow in God's Word.#Romans13 #CitizensOfHeaven #ChristianLiving #BibleStudy #ChurchOfChrist #KingdomOfGod #Faith #JesusChrist #BiblicalTeaching #LivingSacrifice

In this message, Pastor Ben Kaempfer teaches through Romans 13:8–14, where the apostle Paul reminds believers that the debt we never finish paying is the debt of love. From Paul's command to love our neighbor to his urgent call to wake from spiritual sleep and “put on the Lord Jesus Christ,” this sermon presses us to see that Christian faith is not passive, private, or sleepy. It is a life of active love, growing holiness, and daily repentance before God. This sermon shows how love fulfills the law, how spiritual apathy dulls obedience, and how the gospel calls us to walk in the light rather than keep making room for the flesh. If you have felt spiritually distracted, weary, or half-awake, this message is a timely invitation to return to Christ with sincerity and fresh obedience. Listen in, be encouraged by God's Word, and consider how the Lord may be calling you to love more faithfully and follow Jesus more wholeheartedly today.

Robert Morgan, Associate Pastor of World Outreach Church, shares that America's founding was deeply shaped by Scripture, reminding us that God still calls us to build our lives on the unchanging foundation of His Word. Long before the Declaration of Independence, pastors were preaching from Scripture and shaping the ideas that would become the foundation of a new nation. Seven key Bible verses played a remarkable role in American history, from Deuteronomy 1:13 inspiring the first colonial constitution to Acts 4:12 being spoken over a dying Alexander Hamilton. George Washington, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and others drew deeply from the Bible in their leadership and decision-making. The Constitutional Convention itself was rescued from collapse when Franklin quoted Psalm 127:1 and called the delegates to prayer. These stories have been quietly removed from textbooks, but they are real and they matter. The same God who guided a fledgling nation through impossible odds is still at work today, and the question for each of us is whether we will build our lives on His foundation.Verse References:Deuteronomy 1:13 inspired pastor Thomas Hooker to argue that people have a God-given right to choose their own leaders. His ideas led directly to the Connecticut Constitution, the prototype for the U.S. Constitution.Romans 13:1 was the text of a 1750 sermon that John Adams later called the catechism of the revolution, preached by Jonathan Mayhew more than two decades before the first shots were fired.Psalm 35:1 was read aloud at the First Continental Congress at a moment of crisis, and the delegates felt as though it had been placed in the Bible just for them.Joel 3:19 was the text pastor Jonas Clark preached after seven members of his congregation were killed at Lexington Green, the opening battle of the Revolutionary War.1 Samuel 7:12 was the passage Washington's chaplain preached after the impossible victory at Yorktown, calling the soldiers to remember God's providential help throughout the war.Psalm 127:1 was quoted by Benjamin Franklin at the Constitutional Convention when the entire process was on the verge of collapse. Washington then led the delegates to a nearby church to pray, and they returned to produce the Constitution.Acts 4:12 were among the last words spoken over Alexander Hamilton as he lay dying after his duel with Aaron Burr. He humbly acknowledged his sin and trusted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

“This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living.” (Romans 13:11–12 NLT) This month, we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation. And this month’s devotions will tie into that celebration. They will also tie into our nation’s greatest need at the quarter-millennium mark in our history: the need for revival. Let me start with a few questions. Think of the last time you got a phone call in the middle of the night. Did the person begin the conversation with the question, “Did I wake you?” If so, did you have the urge to say, “No, I was already awake”? Sometimes when I watch television with my wife, she will pick a show that I don’t find very interesting, like some British baking show. And before long, I’ll fall asleep. And when I open my eyes, I’ll find my wife staring at me. “You were sleeping,” she’ll say. And my first instinct is to say, “No, I wasn’t,” even though I woke myself up with my own snoring. What is it about human nature that causes us to deny that we’re sleeping? Maybe we see tiredness as a weakness. Maybe we’re reluctant to admit that we’re not bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and fully alert every second of the day. It’s one thing to be physically asleep and not own up to it. It’s quite another thing to be spiritually asleep and deny it—and not just for an individual believer. A nation can be spiritually asleep, and I think that’s the condition the United States finds itself in right now. This week we will celebrate the grace that God has shed on our country. We will recount the many blessings He has bestowed on us over the past 250 years. Our celebrations will be marked by loud music and fireworks. Yet even then, we will go on spiritually sleeping. So as the Fourth of July approaches this year, I will be praying for a revival for our nation. And revival begins with a spiritual awakening—a profound awareness of our distance from God and our need to close that distance. I will be praying for a sense of spiritual urgency among God’s people. The apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Rome, “This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living” (Romans 13:11–12 NLT). It’s time to sound the alarm. The time for revival has come. Reflection question: How can you be a “spiritual alarm clock” to the people God has placed around you?

What does it mean to trust God when the people in authority over us are far from perfect? In this message given by our Next Gen Director, Gage Skivington, from Romans 13:1–7, we discover that our peace isn't found in trusting people—it's found in trusting the sovereign God who places authority where He wills. As we learn to surrender our lives to Jesus and pray, "Not my will, but Yours be done," we'll see that submission becomes an act of faith rooted in God's unchanging character, not our changing circumstances.Support the show

Date: Sunday, June 28, 2026Title: It's Time...!Preacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: Romans (Part 57)Passage: Romans 13:11-14

June 28, 2026 sermon from Providence Reformed Church Las Vegas by Pastor Travis Peterson

Paul reminds the church that faith in Christ includes humble and God-honoring submission to those who are governing authorities. This is not to say that we should do everything we are told to do especially where it concerns honoring the Lord above all else; Paul's life was often marked by gracious-yet-firm civil disobedience when he was asked not to preach the gospel. We should, however, respect those in authority, submitting where appropriate, and show honor as much as possible. Paul goes on to say that “Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love, therefore, is the fulfillment of the law.” Our aim should be to live a life humility and service, especially in light Christ's return. Since the night is nearly over and the day is near, let us then put on the armor of light. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

#54 in our series, "The Book of Romans: A Theology of Hope"

This week, Pastor Jonathan continues our series through the book of Romans with a message from chapter 13. While obligation often carries a negative connotation, Paul presents it as something beautiful: an ongoing debt of love toward one another. The more we understand who we are in Christ, the more we learn that loving others is not a burden, but a gift.

Every election cycle, Christians argue about what they owe the government and where that obligation ends. Paul wrote the original version of that argument. The governing authority is God's servant, he says, and you owe it taxes, respect, and honor. That was written under Nero, which means Paul is not talking about a government that deserves your admiration. He is talking about an office God established for your good. Then he turns to the Christian's own life: put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh. How you live under authority and how you live before God are both answered. The Rev. Ryan Kleimola, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Toledo, OH, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 13:1–14. To learn more about Trinity Lutheran Church, visit trinitylutheran.org. Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this first day of June, we continue our journey through scripture, exploring Proverbs 19–21 and Romans 13. Join Hunter, your Bible reading coach, as he reflects on the wisdom of walking with integrity, the value of wise counsel, and the call to clothe ourselves in the presence of Christ. Together, we'll seek encouragement to live honorable lives, rooted in gratitude and strengthened by God's love. Let's open our hearts and let God's Word shape us for the day ahead. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Clothe yourself with the presence of Christ. That's the invitation the apostle Paul gives us—put on Christ as if you were putting on new clothes. The world can be dark and challenging, yet Paul tells us our shining armor is none other than Jesus himself. When we are wrapped in him, when we let his presence surround and cover us, we are able to love our neighbors as ourselves, to walk honorably, and to live the kind of life that shines as a light in the darkness. There really isn't any other way to live the Christian life but in him. "Christ in you, the hope of glory"—this is called a mystery, but it's the center of it all. As we step out into our day, it's not about our own strength or resolve; it's about dressing ourselves in his strong, peaceful, joyful presence. This presence is the source of everything we need for whatever the day might hold. His presence both covers and empowers us, embracing us, making us ready for whatever may come. Be ever mindful that as you walk through this day, you are not walking alone or uncovered. You are clothed in Christ, your armor against the darkness, your peace in the storm, your hope in uncertainty. Every breath you take is grace, every encounter you have is a chance to give what you yourself have received: mercy without measure, love that knows no end. Let's put on Christ today. Let's make his presence our home. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
