## Resource

In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird respond to horrifying reports from Great Britain and ask a sobering question: What happens when civil authorities stop punishing evil and begin protecting it? Using the famous Barnhouse warning about Satan taking over a city, they examine how judicial failure, social decay, and gospel-less churches are often connected—not isolated problems. What is the Christian response when justice collapses? Prayer, courage, local faithfulness, and unwavering commitment to Christ’s rule. Christians must oppose evil without losing hope, because Christ still reigns.
