To start: dont abandon ship.
I was watching some worship before i head to fellowship (church). And, of course, in the video i see EMPTY SEATS.
The believers have been routed. It is one thing if the Pastor, in obedience to a decision arrived at through prayer) deems it necessary to not meet.
It is absolutely entirely ANOTHER when one submits to the dictates of man's governance.
We have to be willing to pay the price. What if everyone really STOOD UP and pressed against these measures which really are in place to entrain US into docile submission to tyranny? This is all just getting US used to this.
Consider the young ones, with the insanity of masks. At a very young tender age it is being drilled into them to COMPLY. They will think this is natural order of things. To bow one's head to obviously unConstitutional (and unGodly) measures.
This is all meant to break our spirit. I would lay a wager (but i will refrain from gambling, even with a sure bet) that there has been a higher cost to life, sanity, livelihood, ad infinitum,, then the damned (yeah i said it) 0.2 percent fatality with Covid.
Fear kills. Isolation kills. Draconian measures kill. Again, i would expect that the vax KILLS.
This involves so many more aspects than our physical body. The body will perish, but we do have an eternity.
What decisions are we making RIGHT NOW to effect our eternity.
I have pressed back. Been out and about at most severe time of lockdown. The fellowship i now attend is led by a Pastor who has never closed the doors of the church building.
The Spirit has been speaking to me about revival of the New Testament church as described in the Book of Acts. House church, people. Where we are in PROXIMITY encouraging one another, having accountability (which our culture despises), and helping one another out. Not some freak socialist/communist BS but RESPONSIBLE folks caring for one another for when emergent needs arise, but we walk this TOGETHER in any case. Not as a haven for the idle: we will help you become self-responsible or leave you to continued irresponsible choices.
oh. I reckon i better stop here. I gotta get on the road and meet with my fam.
Take a stand, people. Dont leave the seats empty. Gather elsewhere if you must. I will be on my knees in prayer, but by all that is holy, you will find me standing against this assault on the Body of Christ. And a slap in the face and attempt to Ki11 this One Nation under God. We are the light on the hill to the world, IF we stand up for what we have been founded upon. Scripture.
Who ever would have imagined that we forfeit our God-given rights so easily? Again, for the corporate body, the Pastor makes that choice based on prayer and guidance. But NEVER the State.
Stand up!!
