All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry

because you're spending your cash in your lives on raising young children in the fear and

admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.

Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness

of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star

review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.

We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.

You're listening to Daily Truth.

There is no such thing as inherent human authority, meaning that an unjust law is not a law.

An unjust law is no law at all.

And that applies to the civil realm, that applies to the home, and that applies

to the church. What someone in spiritual authority, an ecclesiastical authority in the realm of the

church, says something or commands something that is not rooted in the

commandments of God in scripture, a church member not only is it permissible to disobey your

pastor, it is actually required that you resist that ecclesiastical tyranny.

That's why when things are not clear, one of the things that a godly and mature pastor will seek to do

is to exercise the authority of counsel rather than the authority of command.

Because counsel can be rejected. When a pastor gives you

his counsel, you can say thanks but no thanks. But when a command is given, it's given with a binding

quality. And now if it is not a command of scripture and the pastor is wrong, you must still resist it.

But the pastor is actually exercising tyranny.
