He explains that Scripture affirms nations, borders, and governing authorities as God-ordained, with a responsibility to uphold law, order, and justice. At the same time, individual Christians are called to show compassion, mercy, and dignity to every person made in God's image. Blaine carefully distinguishes between individual responsibility (loving neighbors, caring for those in need) and national responsibility (enforcing laws and protecting citizens), warning against misusing Scripture to justify political positions. He challenges believers to reject tribalism, false teaching, and selective justice, urging the church to be peacemakers who submit to biblical authority, pursue truth with clarity, and keep Christ—not culture—at the center of the conversation.
