We are living in perilous times. Many Christians are trying to determine what their role should be in the arena of civil unrest. Jesus commands us to give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s. Peter says honor the king and the king he was referring to was the Caesar, Nero, who was a persecutor of the church. Paul tells us to submit to the governing authorities. Therefore, as a Christian, I must, in good conscience, answer the questions, “Who is my Caesar?” and “What is my obligation to the state and to its leaders?”
