Authority at Home

Published: May 21, 2016, 10 a.m.

In Ephesians chapter six, verses one through four, Paul directly commands children to obey their parents. Not only are Paul’s instructions valuable for us in parent/child relationships, but they serve as a discipleship model for us as believers. Authority is ordained by God; when we obey authority, we are obeying God. There is a tension that surrounds this issue of authority, because it can expose sin patterns in our lives.
