Importance of Good Authority and Submission

Good authority is crucial for protecting the vulnerable, strengthening communities, and promoting human flourishing. The concept of authority should not be demonized, as it is necessary when stewarded well. Authority is the moral license to exercise power, distinct from mere capacity. Recognizing and practicing good authority is essential, as illustrated by biblical examples like David's righteous rule.
