Among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic has made one thing clear: most Christians in Germany believe that government regulations, laws, and orders must be followed unconditionally, because After all, “every authority comes from God.”. One must not defy what the “authorities” say. This was preached from countless pulpits.

But Is that really true? Does this correspond to the overall message of Scripture? What about our responsibility to be the light and salt of our society? Drawing on a small booklet by Rick Joyner, Martin explores the duty entrusted to us as Christians to stand up against injustice, arbitrariness, abuse of power, control, manipulation, etc..

We must obey God rather than men.
Acts 5:29
