Can we co-operate with the atheistical government?

[HelenaZF]

I believe the scriptures are very clear that earthly governments operate by God's authority. We are told to obey the laws of the land to to honor the governments set over us. No distinction is made as to whether the government is corrupt or righteous, we are instructed to acknowledge their authority.



I believe that consequently, if the government provides an opportunity for the church to do ministry and service, that it is a "door" opened for the church. One that has been ultimately provided by God who holds the hearts of the kings in His hands.



That is an exciting thing that something like this would be facilitated through an atheistic government. Just because they do not acknowledge God, it does not mean that they cannot be moved by His hand. I think that if we could read the prayer logs of heaven, that we would find that there are saints who have been praying for something like this to happen in the land.
