It is never a fun job to have to write an article against
those whom you consider friends. It is with a heavy heart and burden that I
take up the pen and now write. The issue before me is regarding a debate within
Covenanter circles about the limitation of the role of civil government, and
how that intersects with other ordained spheres of authority that God ordains,
as well as how much of God’s moral law that the civil magistrate may enforce.
Many of these issues deal with welfare concerns. Does the civil government have
a role and function in education? What about helping the poor? But it also
deals with issues that relate to moral laws of God that do not have a defined
civil penalty attached.
