We are skeptical of authority because all to often, people abuse their power. You only have to look at Russia right now to know this is true. As Lord Acton famously said “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” We all know someone who let power go to their head. And the more power someone has the worse they tend to become. If this is so often our experience then, is all authority corrupt? In this talk, we will seek to answer this question by looking at how God restores order in the family of Christ.
