Unholy Roman Empire

WRONG RULERS     Every time the leaders of the church have come to believe that they need to rule over the rest of the world, what was birthed was something evil.

WRONG RULERS     Every time members of the church have come to believe that they should abstain from becoming leaders in government and other culture-forming entities (including education and news agencies and the arts) the culture gets handed over to anyone who wants to rule it with their agendas and values and make it obey and worship them.

RIGHT RULERS    Every time members of the ekklesias of Jesus move into leadership roles in the culture-forming entities and use their spiritual gifts to obey the King in those positions, the Kingdom of God is advanced in the societies that they influence.

RIGHT RULER    The Kingdom is where the King is honored with obedience, including serving by leading.
