The Word of God makes it abundantly clear that governments are ordained by God for the express purpose to put down evil and promote good.  As such every government is accountable to God for its actions and beholden to Him for its existence.  This implies that all governments must be compliant with God's law in their theory and practice.  Compliance with God's law ensures that the government will be moral in nature.  The Word of God also teaches us that men are by nature evil, not good, which is why the first task of government is to put down evil.  This evil nature of men means that there must be intrinsic limits on the scope and power of government to prevent power from being concentrated in the hands of a few men...or one man. 

Our forefathers knew this and after much prayer, study, thought, and debate settled on a Constitution which limited the scope and power of the national government.  Scripture showed them that the Lord acted as lawgiver (legislative), judge (judicial), and king (executive).  Since no man could be counted on to reliably fulfill these roles they separated these functions of government into three branches.  The interactions between these branches are clearly defined in the Constitution.  Equally clearly defined is the interaction of the national government with state governments and with individual citizens.  Finally the overall purpose of the Constituted government is clearly stated in the preamble to the Constitution: form a more perfect union (vis a vis the articles of the Confederation); establish justice; promote domestic tranquility; provide for the common defense; and promote the general welfare of the people.  In short the Constitution was designed to prevent two fundamental evils of government: 1) a national government too weak to operate in protection of freedom; and 2) a national government too strong to allow freedom at all. 

Tragically and pathetically, this government has succumbed to the second evil and has done so by emphatically rejecting the moral basis of God's law and secondarily by rejecting the operational framework of the Constitution.  Tragic, because of the ensuing loss of freedom and more importantly the blessing of the Almighty.  Pathetic, because the crime has been done systematically, yet openly in front of the people of America over the past 100 years. 

"How is this government ungodly?", is a natural question to ask.  The following evidence is put forth.  The Scriptures are emphatic on placing a high value to human life throughout: whoever sheds man's blood is to forfeit their own life; God takes no pleasure in the death of wicked people but seeks their repentance; no man could be convicted without overwhelming evidence; and most of all the sending of His Son.  Yet this government actively promotes the death of babies through abortion, even to funding abortions overseas.  It also is considering a national healthcare plan which openly espouses the severe rationing of care for the elderly and the very sick among us.  It also has promoted perversion: recent attempts to put language in the so-called hate crimes laws to prevent pedophiles from being a protected class were defeated.  And more generally it has actively promoted the homosexual lifestyle that, irrespective of one's view of Scripture, is known to be highly deleterious to the health of the practitioners.  Scripture also speaks often and highly of the family and of fatherhood in particular.  Yet this government is actively engaged in destroying the family at many levels.  The United Nations treaty on children being considered contains language that authorizes children to flout any authority of their parents and pursues the raising of children by bureaucrats.  The effect of the government on fathers can be seen in the 40% of children currently being born out of wedlock.  Lastly, this government is actively seeking the removal of the Lord and Christians from any public input or forum whatsoever.  These items are just a few of the ways this government is ungodly and many more could be shown. 

This government is unconstitutional since it has abrogated any serious role of the constitution in the conduct of its affairs.  This can be seen in the complete failure to hold to the purpose of the constitution outlined in the preamble.  The union is not more perfect: each state is reduced to competing with others for federal largess; and as is noted constantly, America is a highly divided and contentious nation.  Justice, being the equal application of law to each citizen without regard to anything but their actions under the law, is denigrated in favor of an elusive and illusory equality of results for each citizen without regard for their actions.  This is elusive because equal results can never be achieved, not even if reduction to the lowest common denominator is the goal.  It is illusory because arbitrary justice requires the elevation of arbitrary judges and arbitrary exploitation of classes of people for the benefit of the arbitrary judges.  Domestic tranquility is a striking failure of this government.  Heavy-handed intrusions into the economy have produced a debt that will crush the children of this country for two generations.  More generally, the division of the country by the government into ever finer groups that require special rights and reparations have produced a level of animosity that is breathtaking. The common defense is a stark failure as well.  The first defense of any nation is the control of its borders and immigration into the nation.  Yet this government is set on extending the (fictional) borders of the United States to the ends of the earth and allowing any persons entrance to and citizenship in the country.  It has fiddled while rogue nations are getting access to nuclear weapons and cutting funding for defenses against those very weapons.  In the general welfare it is actively engaged in policies that will destroy a good part of the nation's economy and particularly the life savings of many older Americans.  For a much longer period it has pushed an education system that is a failure at every level.  College educations today are at best the equivalent of an eighth grade education  100 years ago.  More to the point, students today have no idea what the constitution is about or what it contains.  Finally, the intrusions on the bill of rights are stark:  freedom of religion and freedom of speech are constantly being attacked; the government is openly co-opting the press and attempting to suppress all other outlets.  The tenth amendment which states that all powers not expressly given to the nation government are held by the states and the people is openly scorned.  All these things (and more) show that this government is unconstitutional.

As stated in the title, this government is also unlawful.  By this it is meant that it does not abide by the laws it has passed.  This is abundantly brought out by the repeated elevation of persons to cabinet positions who failed to pay their taxes.  For any private citizen such behavior brings a swift incarceration.  But we are told that the genius of such persons is so great that they must be exempted from the law.  Such arrogance is the essence of tyranny.  Even worse, this arrogance is seen in the legislative branch as well.  Further illegal acts are seen in the firing of an inspector general without the due process required by the law.  The list of illegal acts by this government could fill many pages, but the acts shown are sufficient. 

As this government is ungodly, unconstitutional, and unlawful it is also unacceptable.  As such it must be opposed by Christians.  Our opposition must be vigorous and multifaceted.  In prayer we must seek the limiting of the spiritual drivers of this government and imploring the Lord to move against them and it.  In action we must exert pressure on the society around us by: proclaiming the Gospel; standing for righteousness; and promoting a biblical worldview as a radical alternative to the atheistic/tyrannical worldview of today. We must also exert pressure on this government through the means currently available: constant, emphatic communication with the legislators; communication with newspapers, blogs, tweets, etc; taking an active role in the selection of candidates for office; and peaceable demonstrations.  While doing these things is no guarantee of success, failure to do them will give us the same results as the failure of the church in Nazi Germany.  And there is no America to come to our aid...
