Is it right for a Christian to go to court against the government?

This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, a listener asks if it is right for a Christian to go to court- 1 Corinthian 6-1-8 seems to say that Christians ought not to go court to work out their grievances. The listener writes and asks specifically about John MacArthur -MacArthur- and Grace Community Church -GCC-, going to court and suing L.A. County. They want to know if this sort of thing conflicts with the directions given by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6-1-8. Or does it not apply because the grievance is not against another believer-
