This question is the last one of the year, and will probably the final question in this series. It is also a question that will lead into a little series I have been thinking about.

How involved should a Christian be in his or her government?

There are many who do not read the book of Revelation because of the tough material.

And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place. And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book. I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. But he *said to me, “Do not do that. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who heed the words of this book. Worship God.” – Revelation 22:6-9

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. – Revelation 22:18-20

Should the book of Revelation be important to us?

In the Old Testament (read Judges & 1 Samuel) the Jews cried out because they wanted a leader, like all the other surrounding nations. God gave them what they wanted, but he wanted to be their leader all along.

How does this theme work in today’s world? Especially with American Christians and even Church Governments.

Does Scripture or God command us to meet on Sunday mornings?

Why do we associate OT priests with pastors and temple/tabernacle with church building? (HT: Alan)
