Authority: Whether to Bow or Conform, and to Who...?

Have you ever felt pressure to do something?  I watched a movie recently (the Experimenter) that talked about this very thing, how it is in our nature to obey, even when it is to malevolent authority (someone with evil intentions).  Naturally this has strong spiritual and biblical implications, because Scripture talks about this very same thing.  The only authority we should listen and bow to is Jesus, but it can be difficult to reserve that ownership and relationship only to Him.  We often assume other entities, people, and even ourselves have more power than is actually true.  Our directives outside of Jesus, by nature, are malevolent, even the ones we come up with for ourselves.  We must forsake all and bow only God, the Lord Jesus, and Milgram's experiment offers a lot we can learn from in how to do this.  The root of what his experiment teaches is truth from the Bible.
