I do think church leaders need to discern whether to take the ordinance of public officials at face value. There appears to be a rise in false justification and overreach in areas that the state has no business promoting or facilitating. In a best case scenario, the Christian Church and the Christian citizen is left alone to obey God and conscience. But an attempt to Christianize an official territory (land or nation) is an overreaction that would just make matters worse in a multitude of ways. I think Doug Wilson represents/reflects a cult of personality in which such things may go wrong in motive and fidelity.
