Hierarchy Is Not Necessarily Bad

Hierarchy Is Not Necessarily Bad

By Randy Alcorn

June 30, 2013

Hierarchy is Not Necessarily Bad from Randy Alcorn - EPM on Vimeo.

Because of our experiences with hierarchy in this world, the idea of having someone over us and someone under us inherently carries a negative connotation. But Randy Alcorn explains that because God is absolutely good, hierarchy in God's kingdom will not have the negative aspects we experience in this fallen world. All will have some area of responsibility, will be under the authority of someone and possibly have authority over others. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.

Randy Alcorn (@randyalcorn) is the author of over sixty books and the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries.
