Sermon by David F. Maas

True simplicity, peace, and spiritual flourishing emerge when God's chosen saints yield to both God's laws and human authority, embracing order rather than resisting it. Scriptures from I Corinthians, James, Romans, and Proverbs reveal that God's holy and spiritual commandments are life-giving, timeless, and the foundation of spiritual liberty. Faith is active, expressed through consistent, loving obedience, not passive belief —- and obedience to God's Word brings joy wisdom , and alignment with His purpose. Respecting human authority, even when imperfect, reflects trust in God's sovereign designed, as exemplified by early Christians under Roman rule. Resistance to lawful structures leads to chaos, stress, and moral confusion. This message applies these principles to contemporary issues, warning against overreach in government and coercive mandates, emphasizing discernment, moral courage, and reliance on God Trials and challenges are opportunities for growth, divine intervention, and strengthened faith. Ultimately, simplicity is found not in avoiding life's complexities, but in yielding to God's order, narrowing choices through His guidance, producing peace, clarity, and assurance in every aspect of life.
