If you feel the profound need to speak into a situation... "Do I have authority here?"... An authority is earned and it is given
- Do I have authority to speak my mind on this matter?
- Have I walked with these people long enough?
- Have I stood by them long enough?
- Have I been the kind of friend and travelling companion that I have earned the right to say "You know I love you, you know I have your best interest, you know I would do anything for you but there are a couple of things I need to say - namely you're in the wrong"
Do you have that kind of authority?
from a sermon by Rob Bell "Jesus and Divorce"
