Christian citizenship is similar to dieting and exercise or budgeting in the sense that it requires ongoing attention and review. That is why we can all use a reminder from time to time about key Biblical principles as we face new challenges or just a new day. Here are 5 key Biblical principles about government we should all remember and apply in public life:

1. Government is God’s Idea.
2. Government isn’t God.
3. Government needs a guide.
4. Government guards good works.
5. Government will go away.

If you would like to read more about these principles, I address them at length in my book The Good Citizen, which is available in print and audio formats.
