How has the Church become less important than retailers who were allowed to stay open with no restrictions, while churches were mandated to be closed? Mandates were inconsistent and confusing as a whole, and God is NOT the author of confusion! How degenerate of a society have we become when a judge can order me to prison for preaching? How passive have we become in religion when our religious leaders tolerate these things? I have been charged with nine crimes for having the audacity to hold in-person church services! The Bible teaches that we cannot be a “church” without assembly (Hebrews 10:25)! Church, by definition, is: "The assembly of called-out ones.” There are two words that have rang out for the past fifteen months of American History: "essential” and “non-essential.” This past year in America, over-reaching tyrannical government has implemented their dark agenda to try and render the church "non-essential!” Not on our watch!
