Tim Chandler: Is it Biblical for Christians to go to court?

ADF Attorney Tim Chandler writing at Speak Up Movement / Church: “Perhaps the best way of answering this is to consider who the ‘government authorities’ are. Our system of government features a series of authorities at different levels (e.g. local, state, and federal) and of different types (e.g. executive, legislative, and judicial). Yet one authority in our system stands above all others: the United States Constitution. By using the judicial system to insist that government officials follow the Constitution, a church is not resisting authority. It is simply using the established system of government to appeal to a higher authority.”
