Duh!
“You hate authority!”
That’s what my last employer said to me.
No.
I don’t hate anything. But…
I oppose false authority.
I oppose abusers with authority they don’t deserve.
I oppose narcissists with authority.
I oppose nit pickers who use authority to make life hard on people.
I oppose lying authority who deceive those under them.
I oppose authority who don’t obey the laws designed to protect the people.
I oppose authority who do not follow their own laws and rules.
Real authority doesn’t need to prove it has authority.
Real authority uses power to love and help people.
Real authority lifts people up.
Real authority is above reproach and doesn’t need to hide.
Hitler had authority.
Charles Manson had authority.
Priests who molest kids have authority.
Kings who murdered entire cultures had authority.
Abusive parents and spouses have authority.
Abusive pet owners have authority.
Abusive bosses have authority.
We should hate authority when it’s wrongly used or wrongly held.
Any authority figure who doesn’t agree is part of the problem.

On Father’s Day
Father’s are under attack It’s Fathers Day and probably the sermons you will hear today, and the things posted on social media, will be attacks on Father’s. Little jabs talking about how they need to do better, and are the leaders of the household or some other form of guilt and shame. And we wonder…
Not As The World Gives
God Doesn’t Do Like The World Does. Jesus said. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”—John 14:27 (John 14:1-31–in context) When God calls us, and we turn to Him, confessing Jesus…
Does God Feel Distant?
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, and…
