Popularity is overrated.
And, even today, our churches await PERMISSION from the state to hold services?
PERMISSION from the State?
Keep rolling that over and over in your mind.
I will not be a very popular person in my church come the restart. Nope. Not popular at all.
Seems like there’s plenty of tricky judgment calls flooding our land.
It makes it easier to cast almost everything into a totally black/white frame on reality.
I’m markedly less that way at 73 than I was at 23.
On the other hand, I’m maybe quicker to slam a big axe head onto the stump when an issue is CLEARLY emphatically & crucially black/white.
It seems to me that telling churches when they can & cannot meet/worship is an early step on a slippery slope that NEEDS SLAPPED DOWN HARD immediately.
Any camel nose under that tent is intolerable.
Glad you stand on the side of God & freedom on such scores.
