Four Forms of Government Today!

This makes me think of a Forest Gump saying.

By Tim Taylor September 18, 2022 - Last year I launched Tim Taylor Training.  The goal is to reach and serve leaders in the 7 mountains like mayors, governors, police chiefs, business leaders etc...  Here's the theme that marks Tim Taylor Training.  TRUTH - TRAINING & TRANSFORMATION.  

Understand that no solution will ever work unless it is based upon the truth.  If your worldview is not based upon a truthful accurate assessment of how the world works, then no solution you design, no policy or law you create will ever work and yield the results you expect.  

For example, the headline this morning on Apple News was from a Foxnews article, "Starbucks makes good on promise to close more stores as crime rages in New Orleans."  Starbucks worldview is a woke worldview and has advocated policies and governments that is hurting their business.  What was it that Forest Gumb said, "stupid is as stupid does?"  Now please understand, my intention here is not to be insulting but rather to shock you and others and wake people up with the truth.  If your worldview is wrong, then your solutions will never yield the results you expect.  Do you think they anticipated the consequences of the lying woke agenda?  

No, that is not what they expected?  

Why did you need to understand this?  It is because:

1. Jesus calls us as kings and priests - Revelaion 1:6 & 5:10
2. Jesus is a king and a priest - Revelation 19:11, Hebrews 3 & Hebrews 7
3. His ekklesia is charged with making disciples of all nations propagating the gospel of the kingdom - Matthew 29:18-20 and Matthew 4:17

A kingdom is a government.  You and I need to understand how God designed the world to work.

Four Forms of Government

---

1. Individual - Genesis 1:26-28, 2:7 and Matthew 4:17
2. Family - Genesis 2:27, Exodus 20:12, Genesis 14:14, Genesis 23:6  and Ephesians 5:22-6:4
3. Religious - Deuteronomy 17:9, Deuteronmy 31:9  and Numbers 35 
4. Civil - Genesis 14, 2 Samuel 19:11 and Romans 13:1

The truth is, I've barely scratched the surface here, but there are four basic forms of government.  

When one level of government begins to fail, it becomes the responsibilty for the next level of government to step in and bring order. 

The lawlessness being exercised by our civil governments today are being made clear as they violate boundary after boundary with their decisions.  This lawlessness has set the stage for God's people to arise and bring order.
