Earthly power is corrupting. Unfortunately, most power exercised today by our elected officials–including those in Texas–is earthly, not biblical.

On Episode 40 of the Liberty Café, we examine what this means for governance in Texas.

In Episode 37 of the Liberty Café, we take a look at how government has once again risen above the law and what we can do to change this.
