The Book of Romans Series: Colleen and Nikki discuss Romans 14:5–9. Charlie Kirk's book on the Sabbath, Stop in the Name of God, has sold out and is a "best seller" in America.

The Book of Romans Series: Nikki and Colleen discuss Romans 13:5–7. The Bible mandates that Christians are to be faithful in paying their taxes to the government because the rulers in government are servants of God. Think about the type of government that the Christians were under when this was written—the Roman Empire—a power that persecuted and martyred Christians.
