Authority

Colors

What is the means by which we receive our colors?

Just as the colors of the military represented authority

in battle, so God has provided a system of authority by

which we are to take in the Word---- the gift of pastor-

teacher. Even royalty is subject to higher authority. In the

Royal Family of God, two systems of authority must be

recognized: an outer authority--the pastor-teacher; and the

 inner authority -- Bible doctrine, the very Word of God Him-

self, who is the highest Authority of all!  No one can learn 

from a teacher unless he respects his authority. It is the pastor

-teacher's responsibility as the commanding officer to pick up

the standard and lead his congregation to the high ground of

the super-grace life.
