Jurisdiction - Three Institutions Ordained By God

By Donald Porter, Jr.

The thoughts in this book will include the institutions of the home, government, and the church. Establishing the necessity to submit to God's authority in the home, government, and church is non-negotiable. Although each institution has jurisdictional leadership, God is the Supreme in all JURIS - rights, and laws.

 

• Christ is the Head of the Church
• The husband is the head of the home
• The Pastor isn't the head of the Church
• "Obey them that have the rule over you" is used by lazy Christians and mediocre Pastors who are unwilling to take a stand for right.
