What happens when a nation turns its back on God—and its people no longer understand the foundations of their own freedoms?

On this Empower Hour, Tanya Gaw, founder and director of Action4Canada, Challenges the Expansive Interpretation of “Religion” under the Charter, examines the Biblical consequences of idolatry, and calls Canadians to defend our nation’s Christian Biblical foundations and return to God’s commandments.

This message concerns every Canadian. What we believe about the source of authority, the purpose of government and the limits of its power affects our families, our schools, our laws and our freedoms. We cannot effectively defend our inheritance if we do not understand it—or recognize what is at stake when it is abandoned.

Tanya’s research challenges the expansive interpretation of “religion” under Section 2(a) of the Charter. She examines the historical development of the term and argues that Canada’s constitutional commitments must be understood in light of its Christian foundations, the Coronation Oath, and the Charter’s recognition of the supremacy of God and the rule of law.

What does acknowledging the supremacy of God require of those who govern—and of us as citizens? Can a nation expect His blessing while rejecting His authority?

Drawing on Exodus 20, Tanya addresses God’s commandments against worshipping other gods and idols, the Biblical warnings about disobedience, and the call to repentance and renewed faithfulness. These questions demand serious consideration from every citizen who desires to see our nation restored.

Pastors have a responsibility to proclaim the whole counsel of God. Parents must teach the next generation. Citizens must become informed and hold those exercising public authority accountable. Each of us has a part to play.

Sign up in advance for this important presentation and share it with your family, friends, pastor and congregation. Becoming informed is the first step; putting that knowledge into action is our responsibility.
