What does it mean to recognize God's authority when it is exercised through imperfect people?
Drawing on Romans 13 and other biblical accounts, The Principle of Spiritual Authority* invites readers to look beyond titles and human institutions. Authority has its source in God and reflects the order through which He governs. Recognizing it calls for more than assessing the qualities of a leader; it calls for spiritual discernment.
Through Scripture and everyday situations, this book explores submission as a response of faith to God's government. It also asks a difficult question: when we resist someone in authority, are we responding to that person's failures, or rejecting the authority God has entrusted to them?
These pages invite us to cultivate humility and discernment—and to consider how recognizing what comes from God shapes our lives in the family, the church, and society.
