World at War, pt. 1 - Authority and the Culture Shift

Passage: 1 Peter 2:11-16; Romans 13; Matthew 28:18; Matthew 7:13-14; Gen 3The matter of right and wrong is extremely important for Christians. What is our source of truth, and who do we look to as our authority? The answer should be God; culture wants to take this duty from Him.Key Takeaways:Right and wrong are not subjective—feelings cannot be trusted as our authority.The only authority worthy of trust is God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.This world is not our home and therefore must not be our authority.There is no room for the intermingling of sin and righteousness.True love keeps the commandments; it does not leave others comfortable in their sin.The gospel is for everybody, but it bends to no one.Our God is not a God of acceptance—He is a God of deliverance.Too many are serving a god of their own creation; that god does not exist.
