Where Is the Root of Power in a Nation
A devotional reflection on Israel’s demand for a king and the danger of power. It contrasts Saul’s rise with the people’s delegated authority, noting Samuel’s warnings that power tends to corrupt and that government should rest on the consent of the governed and the rule of law. The piece ties biblical insight to modern democratic ideas and quotes Massachusetts’ constitutional aim for law over men.
