The Wuhan Virus (aka - COVID-19) has decimated our nation. It is a killer. But there is a greater threat lurking behind this invisible enemy. It too is invisible. Let me explain...
A Bible-centered local church in New Jersey (an extremely liberal state) held a church Drive-in Service on Sunday (the Lord's Day) and was subsequently visited by the police and told that they were in violation of the NJ "guidelines" for assembling, etc. They were told to cease and desist from continuing.
(By the way, liquor stores in N.J. and elsewhere are open for business, and Planned Parenthood centers are open for abortions. They are considered "essential" - but worshiping God is not?!)
The pastor graciously informed the police that the church building was locked, no one could use the restrooms, the worshipers were inside their cars, and that no fellowship was encouraged or permitted. He said that they were practicing "social distancing", etc. All to no avail.
The pastor has called the Christian Law Assn. to seek guidance and instructions. He also informed the police chief that both our Constitution and the Bill of Rights guarantee our right to assemble and to practice our beliefs. Herein lies the danger. Will churches cave in to this pressure not to get together and to abandon what the Bible instructs us to do? What happens next? Will we have to go underground after the Pandemic as is the case in China? Will "Caesar" (Govt.) prevail against the Church? Will freedom of religion and religious expression be over in America? These are crucial questions.
Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son said that we are to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's."
