(Faithfulness)We are a law-abiding people, obedient citizens of any country; but obedience to God takes first priority. It is important that we do not lose sight of that when the values of the two different worlds collide.
Jan Paulsen, Adventist World, October 2008, in an October 13, 2007, sermon at the Annual Council of the SDA Church.
The point
Obedience to God must take priority over obedience to any earthly authority.
