Authority - Why Not?

There is very little in me that wants to obey authority. I think that as a fleshly being we all have some pride issues when it comes to submission. The truth is that submission and humility are very closely related. If God is the author of authority - we need to learn to come under authority so we can be under God. There is a benefit to submission, a benefit to obedience. It is just a road that is not naturally traveled. We have to choose obedience and self control, as they don't come naturally. When we do humble ourselves and submit to authority we can find ourselves getting in the right place, right under the provision that can protect us. Join us this Sunday as we wrap up the series. Who knows there may be a surprise or two.
