To those who know me, it is no secret that I have been very critical of the Canadian and Ontario government over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. By and large, I stand behind those criticisms.

What does the Bible say about authority in general, and what does it say about government authority in particular? These are the questions this post aims to address.

“Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going” – Rita Mae Brown “But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” – George Orwell “Language is power, in ways more literal than most people think.

I have been hammering on this theme for a while now, and there is good reason for that.
