James 3:1-12 (click on the scripture to read it)
Who has authority over us in our everyday lives?
One aspect of authority would be the structure of society. We the people, or at least we the majority of the people, build a set of authoritative structures that we live within. These structures, that we are very blessed to have a voice in designing, are intended to keep us from harming ourselves and others…structures that should be laid out for the common good of our society. The result of this communal authoritative process, or rather democratic process, gives us our laws.
