True humility is absolute obedience and dependence on God. It puts Him first, others second, and ourselves third in all things.

We must always keep in mind all legitimate authority is from God, and is given for protection, provision, and peace.

There is no other way to know good from evil, right from wrong, unless we have His Word dwelling richly in our heart. It's good for us to spend time in His Word.

The Spirit of God is jealous over us; He doesn't want superficial fellowship, but genuine intimacy.

What we say in private we must be willing to say with a heart burning with love and honor before the face of our leaders. If not, we will poison our spirits and it will manifest in the presence of our leaders.

The greater hardship you endure, the greater the authority God entrusts to you.

We don't want to merely obey God: we need to catch His heart. It is then we will glimpse the wisdom behind His directives, and not just see them as laws.
