Some thoughts on government:

Isaiah 33:22 ...the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us. (How's that for the 3 branches of govt.?)

From Eddy: God has endowed man with inalienable rights, among which are self-government, reason, and conscience. Man is properly self-governed only when he is guided rightly and governed by his Maker, divine Truth and Love.
