No constitutional authority
I was listening to the radio the other day, and the host was debating the merits of the existence of Social Security. The argument was being made that it does not have a right to exist because it is not mandated by the Constitution. The radio host stated that it should be gradually abolished because of its lack of a mandate.
Now whether this will ever happen is beside the point. The host at least saw the fact that authority must exist for something to lawfully exist. The same is true for matters of religion. Jesus said that all authority had been given to Him (Matthew 28:18). Furthermore, He advocated that everything in religion is done with authority (Matthew 21:23-27).
What does your church do? What do you do in your life? Do you do everything because tells you to in the Bible? When you go to worship does your church do what is stated in the Bible? If you cannot turn to the scriptures and find your practice, you are acting without authority. This is wrong! If you would like to learn more about God and His authority which should rule your life, please contact us for a study.

Good ideas. A lot more people are concerned about government authority these days, maybe that will lead to more people being concerned about spiritual authority.
I hope you're right. For all people who are inclined to think that way, they can see the lack of authority for various governmental activities. Let's hope we can use that to show them the absence of biblical authority in the religious world too.
