Very well said. It will be interesting to see how many of the churches that decided to cease worship are still around months and years from now. God almighty has a way of seperating the fake Christians, lukewarm Christians from the rock solid Gospel believers.
I particularly like this from your article “The Bible makes it clear that if spiritual leaders refuse to take a stand for truth in these turbulent times, Christ will fight against them with His mighty sword. This is a battle that they cannot win. Absolutely no one may mitigate the truth of the Gospel — even for the purpose of purchasing peace with the world around them.”
For those believing a shut down of churches is warranted ( first time in history), please take more time and read Scripture about what is said about worship, specifically group worship.
I’m afraid many have gone the lukewarm route because either church members or family of members have been caught up in the “social issues” of the day.
