Authority—the Biblical vs Cultural Views

Summary

The strains of egalitarianism and cultural Marxism which identify biblical authority structures as themselves, “evil,” are infecting our loved ones, causing them to resist the rule of law.  They need a biblical understanding of God-established authority in civil society, the church, and the home despite the flaws of those filling those God-designed roles. This episode reveals a surprising truth: God has ordained leadership in civil society, the church, and the home for the purpose of leaders giving their followers love.

For Further Prayerful Thought:

1. How would you defend the statement, “Though sometimes authority structures are filled by corrupt individuals, undermining God’s ordained authority structures in civil society, the church, and the home is evil, because those structure’s purpose is LOVE?”
2. In your own words, why does sacrificial love issue from a pure heart?
3. In your own words, why does sacrificial love issue from a clean conscience?
4. In your own words, why does sacrificial love issue from a sincere faith?
