Exodus 22:28

About this episode
We live in an age that despises all authority. The spirit of our time is one of insolence, a sneering contempt for all fathers, all kings, and all gods. We have traded the fear of God for the fear of man, and the result is that we have become a nation of cowering, resentful anarchists. We bow to the faceless tyranny of the algorithm while puffing out our chests against the authorities God Himself has instituted. If there is no God who is God, then man must be god. The result is that modern man spits at Heaven and curses his rulers in the same breath. He burns his draft card and his Bible with the same self-righteous fire. Into this chaotic din, the law of God speaks with a quiet and devastating authority. The laws given to Israel were not arbitrary regulations for a dusty, bronze-age tribe.
