Righteous dominion is power + love.

Power + Love.

This is the formula.  This is the insight I had.

Both are necessary.

***

Men among the Saints work for the love but flee from the power.  They practice unrighteous dominion because of it.  That’s the irony.  They maintain their power just because of their ordination.

Oops.  “No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood.”

They think that ordination=authority=power.

Our secular elites are terrible.  Incompetent, ineffective, and iniquitous.  They are so bad at ruling. Partly its a lack of power.  Mostly because they lack love.

Who ever became more loving at Harvard?  Whose heart ever lit on fire working at Goldman Sachs?
