Civil government involves inspirational leadership as well as institutionalized force.
The leaders should be wise and seek to guide their people as a shepherd leads his flock. Of all things, a civil leader should exhort his people to follow Yahweh, the one True God. This sets the moral standard for all other things. Secondarily, the civil leadership is commissioned by God to carry out his just vengence, either through war or court, and to force just restitution. The man-centered, humanist, socialist or secular view of government denies or twists all of the godly functions.
