Calling the State to Be the State

About this episode

The church is not overstepping its bounds when Christians speak out against the failure of the state to protect the lives of the unborn. Today, R.C. Sproul reminds us that the God-ordained purpose for government is to defend and maintain human life—especially the most vulnerable among us.
