Summary: "Why do so many Christians disobey Authority? Pastor Mike bradford of the Home Church Online asks this question for this morning's message: Obedience is the practical acceptance of the authority and will of God. It includes both submitting to Him and then expressing that submission in actions, words and thoughts. To be obedient is to be in agreement with God. To be in agreement with God is to be in a position of power in Christ. Disobedience is caused by rebellion and distrust of God. To be disobedient is to yield to self-will instead of surrendering to God and desiring His will in all things. God expects obedience (Deuteronomy 11:26-28). To choose Christ is to choose obedience (John 14:15,21). To become disobedient is to sin or rebel against God (I Samuel 15:22,23).
