Rendering honour on the Queen’s Birthday public holiday

David d’Lima - FamilyVoice Australia, June 2020

As the first and oldest Australian public holiday, the Queen’s Birthday gives the opportunity to render honour to our Sovereign Lady, along with various noteworthy people who are recognised by awards that are conferred on that day each year, under the Order of Australia, of which Her Majesty is head.

Action to honour the Sovereign, as the nation’s highest authority, is a virtue that is commendable to all Australians, regardless of their political views. Such action accords with the way we have arranged our civic system in Australia. Furthermore, it is coherent with the following biblical precepts:

Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour (Romans 13:7);

Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him ... (I Peter 2:13);

Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honour the king

(I Peter 2:17).
