Under Authority

Our culture tends to think of authority as a bad thing because we see power misused all around us. But the problem is not being under authority; it is the authority we look to. Authority that is from God is exercised in love for the life of the world. Put yourself under Christ’s authority, even though it means giving up freedom, because serving Christ is perfect freedom. What has Jesus called you to do that you have ignored? What do you need to put in His hands? How is he calling you to change?
