How do we live as a Christian under various forms of authority - from government to family? Our submission to these authorities is an act of trust in God's sovereignty. Our conduct, even in the face of injustice, should reflect Christ's example and serve as a powerful witness to others.

• Christians are responsible to the laws of the land and the governments and rulers who have instituted them.
• Good, bad or ugly, we are exhibiting our trust in God’s sovereignty by submitting to the authority that is in place.
• We are to submit to authority until authority demands we stand against Christ. And then we must choose to stand with Christ.
• False accusations fail to convict when the accused lives in a way that silences the accuser.
• Your righteous service to an unrighteous authority is a service to the Lord and will bring blessing on your life.
• If Christ can endure the process of persecution without sinning, you can face the injustices of this world with the same resolve.
