0217 - Submitting to Civil Authority in the Midst of Persecution (1 Peter 2:13-17)

"An act of resistance or disobedience to the government authority is really an act of disobedience against God. Whether we realize it or not, all the separate authorities in our lives have been placed there by God: 'there is no power but of God.' It can be applied in every area where the Lord has placed a constituted authority, be it in government, the home, the office, or the church." - Dennis Potts
