The Dangers of Blurring the Lines Between The Responsibility of the Church and the Government

Non-Christians demand government enforce morality instead of just laws, while the church often outsources compassion.

God designed government for justice (Romans 13) and the church for mercy and gospel (James 1:27, Matthew 25). Blurring these lines harms everyone.
