What motivates you to respect authority?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow returns to our study in the book of 1 Peter in which we learn that because God has liberated us from the power of sin, we, therefore, honor Him by submitting to proper authority.
Because the only true motivation for respect of authority are His compassionate chains of grace.
