The Role of Authority

Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile explains the value of authority—civil, parental, pastoral, and marital. He defines authority as “the right and ability to control, command, or determine the proper responses of others.” Excerpt:

“God laces all of life with some form of authority. It’s clear, then, that a wholesale rejection of God-ordained authority leads inexorably to anarchy, instability, unrestrained desires, evil, and the judgment of God.”
