15: Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates with Matthew Trewhella

This week we interviewed Matt Trewhella, a pastor from Wisconsin that is a well-known proponent of the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate.

Here are some recommended links for further study:

• LesserMagistrate.com or DefyTyrants.com
• Mercy Seat Christian Church (262) 628-9169
• Macabre Magdeburg Confession
• Appellation to the Nobles of Scotland by John Knox
• Resistance to Tyrants: Romans 13 and the Christian Duty to Oppose Wicked Rulers by Gordon Runyan
• Establishment and Limits of Civil Government by James M Wilson
• Scripture examples:
  • Jeremiah 36 (nobles intervened on behalf of Jeremiah)
  • Daniel 3 (3 Hebrew children)

What can you do now? Contact your lesser magistrates! Write to them. Keep it short, make your point, don’t go over 1 page. You could even meet with your local officials!

“We need to urge our local officials to honor God, and support them in that endeavor.”
