So they brought Him a denarius.
20 And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?”
21 They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
And He said to them, “Render[b] therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

"We believe that God has
ordained and created all authority consisting of three basic institutions: 1)
the home; 2) the Church; and 3) the state. Every person is subject to these
authorities, but all (including the authorities themselves) are answerable to
God and governed by His Word. God has given each institution specific Biblical
responsibilities and balanced those responsibilities with the understanding
that no institution has the right to infringe upon the other. The home, the
Church, and the state are equal and sovereign in their respective Biblically
assigned spheres of responsibility under God (Rom. 13:1-7; Eph. 5:22-24; Heb.
13:17; I Pet. 2:13-14; Acts 5:29; Matt. 22:21b)."
"Attitude
Toward Civil Government
We believe that civil government is ordained of God for the welfare of human
society to promote and protect the good and to restrain and
punish evil.
Therefore, we consider
it the duty of Christians to pray for their leaders, and for those that are
in authority over them and to give due loyalty, respect, and obedience to
them.
However, where the
demands of civil law would violate the
supreme law and will of God, Christians should obey God rather than man
(Dan. 4:17; Matt. 22:17-21; Acts 4:19, 5:29; Rom. 13:1-7;
1
Tim 2:1-4; Acts 23:5; Titus 3:1; 1 Pe. 2:13,14)."
