Overview of plans for the year
What are some of the "sources of authority" that people rely on when they make decisions that involve moral choices?
    The Bible
    Other "authoritative" writings and books
    Emotions
    Logic/Common sense
    Experts/Human authorities*
    Experience (what "seems to" work--pragmatism)
    Friends/Peers
    Media/TV/Movies

    *Note that some human authorities try very hard to help us understand Biblical principles. That is why the Bible says there is safety in a multitude of counselors (Proverbs 24:6)!
