moral agency

Have you ever felt pressured to do something you know is wrong? You may be under the authority of someone who is not listening to me. This puts you in a dilemma, but it is one from which I will provide a way of escape. I gave you a moral agency of your own and this is something you should never surrender, even though you are submissive and obedient to those I have placed in authority over you. Your primary allegiance and obedience is to me and you can appeal to me to intervene and act on your behalf to change hearts, minds, and circumstances, and there is a time to obey me rather than men.
