By Dan Clements, Your Constitutional warrior

 

We have been talking this week about the many aspects of authority. What is authority, by whose authority do we act, and today we are going to discuss where does authority come from politically?

Politicians all over the world claim to have the authority to rule or govern the nation they live in, but where did that authority come from? Monarchs and royalty have claimed authority as a divine right, are they correct in this assumption? Do we have the authority to tell people how to live their lives? Where does authority come from?

Daily Bible reading: Joh 15:12-14 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

Quotemeal: “We take care of our possessions for our children. But of the children themselves we take no care at all. What an absurdity is this! Form the soul of thy son aright, and the rest will be added hereafter.” — John Chrysostom

Hello, my name is Dan Clements, and I host a live show every Friday from 12 noon-1pm ET every week. I also record a daily show that is posted in the afternoon. It's called The Dan Clements Show on YouTube and on my show page. The Dan Clements Show is a Christian/political talk show where we talk about the issues of the day from a Christian point of view. We cover all topics of a political nature, and sometimes some topics that are not. I try to keep the show lite, engaging, and easy to understand. I want people to come away from my show knowing that they have learned something new, or how to look at an issue from a different point of view. So please come and be apart of the conversation. I also upload 1-3 short videos Monday - Thursday, so be on the lookout for those videos as well!!! I'm a veteran of the US Navy and the Army National Guard. I have been married to my wonderful wife Lori for almost 32 years and have 2 children. I love my God and my country and am working hard to teach the truth about both.
