Some Thoughts On Authority And Peace As Well As Resistance and Upheaval.
(Personal, Family, Church, National)

There is legitimate authority and there is legitimate resistance.

However, I have noticed that resistance to authority is not guided by Divine principles as much as by personal desires.

If there is resistance to authority in the home, there will be resistance to other legitimate authority, even the authority of God Himself.

Where there is resistance to legitimate authority, there is upheaval externally and internally, with others and with self and with God.

Peace attends submission to legitimate authority. Personal angst attends a spirit of resistance, a spirit of disobedience.

When a person compromises submission to God in order to be at peace with those who resist the authority of God, there is anarchy, even if it is mutually agreed anarchy, under the banner of "unity".

Any resistance to God, regardless of origin or motives or end result is condemned by God.
