It’s amazing how the threatened loss of power drives men and women to pull out all the stops in an attempt to remain in control. It doesn’t matter whether we are talking about U.S. House and Senate seats or Sadducees and Pharisees. Men driven by power alone are apt to say and do anything rather than admit they are wrong, if that’s what it takes to keep their position and power. We have a tendency to think this desire for dominance is a new thing, but this sin has been around forever…ever since Adam and Eve thought they could become powerful through disobedience.
