Authority exercised with humility is a critical spiritual gift. Obedience…well, let’s just say I prefer the word “surrender” because it has a better connotation: where obedience can lead to a blind rationalisation of evils such as the Holocaust and Apartheid (I obeyed), surrender implies a conscious choice.
“That Hideous Strength,” I’m guessing? Or certainly a theme woven into “That Hideous Strength.”
