I agree it is powerful. If things go bad for Christians we'll learn then how we will respond to a government that betrays our rights.

Some will start reminding us of Titus and Romans, to obey the government, to be obedient slaves to our masters, etc. Except...
The government is NOT our slave-masters. It is our SERVANT. WE THE PEOPLE are the ultimate authority. Our own founding documents say this bluntly. But, the ones who say we should become doormats mock this because they cannot respond to it.
Secondly, Paul writes about being obedient to a government that is a force for good. But... what if that government no longer is a force for good? The detractors don't have a good answer for this one, either. But, Dietrich Bonhoeffer did. The Black Robe Regimen did. The Christians who came out of the second great awakening and started getting political to end slavery did.
