Governments may change, but the Bible doesn't

Summary

This sermon explores the historical and theological concept of "Lex Rex" (law is king), contrasting it with "Rex Lex" (king is law) as championed by Samuel Rutherford and later referenced by C.S. Lewis. It examines the implications for Christian faith and governance, particularly in light of events like the English Civil War and the execution of Charles I. The practical takeaway is the understanding that while Christians are called to submit to governing authorities, they are not obligated to obey when those authorities command disobedience to God, and the sermon hints at the need to consider proactive responses when faced with such situations.
