I watched this video and I don't know what to say! Yes, it's quite disturbing!
However, my question is this: What are we supposed to do as Christians?
I know we are supposed to submit to the governing authorities but where do we draw the line?
Any thoughts?

Submit, yes, unto the Lord (an important and vital limiting qualification to our submission). But if God is pleased to grant us a lesser civil magistrate who seeks to restore the rule of law, then we can rally behind him.
Hi Jacob,
I was curious if you could expound on this.
"But if God is pleased to grant us a lesser civil magistrate who seeks to restore the rule of law, then we can rally behind him"
We are supposed to support the government as long as it doesn't violate God's commands? I need some clarification on this?
Thanks,
