<\/span><\/div>\n

But I want to suggest that what size the government should be is the wrong question. A more useful discussion would be about the purposes of government and whether ours is fulfilling them. So let\u2019s look at what the Bible says.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

The words of Paul in the 13th chapter of Romans are perhaps the most extensive teaching in the New Testament about the role and purposes of government. Paul says those purposes are twofold: to restrain evil by punishing evildoers and to serve peace and orderly conduct by rewarding good behavior. Civil authority is designed to be \u201cGod\u2019s servant for your good\u201d (13:4). Today we might say \u201cthe common good\u201d is to be the focus and goal of government.So the purpose of government, according to Paul, is to protect and promote. Protect from the evil and promote the good, and we are even instructed to pay taxes for those purposes. So to disparage government per se \u2014to see government as the central problem in society \u2014 is simply not a biblical position.<\/span><\/div>\n
