When those in the Government do not Protect the Righteous and Punish the Wicked, they are anarchist.
God said, in Romans 13:1-4
1) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2) Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4) For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that does evil.
Everyone, including Christians, should follow and obey "the higher powers." However, government is not "the higher power" when it contradicts God. We are not obligated to obey renegade government.
God said, Acts 5:29
