Paul tells believers to be subject to earthly government because it is ordained by God. This doesn't mean, however, that governments are perfect or that God approves of corruption or misuse of power. Christians can and should form informed opinions about politics, but the Gospel must always be of supreme importance and we must conduct ourselves in a way that is respectful and does not bring shame to the name of Christ, and we must never harbor contempt for those with whom we disagree.
