Dominion versus domination: learn how God calls us to lead like Jesus by serving, protecting, and caring for all He has entrusted to us. From the very first chapter of the Bible, God gave people authority. However, He never gave us permission to abuse it. Every one of us holds some measure of dominion today. Perhaps it is a home, a classroom, a business, a congregation, or a small patch of garden. The real question is not whether we have authority. Instead, the question is how we will use it.
