For those who don't want to read the whole thing, he held church during COVID.

He fought the Law and he won!

[No name given]

Good for him.

“He fought the Law and he won!”

The winners here are nothing more than the LAWYERS.

Lawfare by attorneys and for the attorneys wallets.

The court found that politicians violated the law. Will they be prosecuted, or at least sued? Neither one seems very likely.

Yes, he won, nearly two years later, after spending time in jail.

Praise God for this Pastor standing.

Wish a lot more had joined him.

Some stood. God bless them.

As so often happens, what Satan took for a win (the arrest of the Pastor and the closing of the church), God turned into HIS win!

I live less than a mile from the church, where it was located before, and during the CONdemic/PLANdemic. Before the illegal lockdowns, the church was sufficiently sized for its congregation and had congregational pot-lucks after each service.

After the church leaders decided to remain open and NOT require masking and a maximum of 15 people on site (as opposed to 15% of capacity for businesses), as dictated by Premier 'Justin' Kenney and Hellth Minister 'ShamWow' Shandro, many congregants left the church, but MANY more new people started attending. (As a personal aside, I am VERY thankful that both these two autocratic, globalist CINO politicians, are now out of office, hopefully forever! Unfortunately, neither will face 'justice', this side of heaven!)

Church attendance grew so much that the church had to have two services every Sunday. This was not what the church leaders wanted. With two services, they could not do the pot-luck and there was limited time for congregants to interact after the services.

In December 2022, they found a United Church of Canada (UCC) church that was failing so badly that the 'corporate' organization of the UCC chose to sell the building to Fairview Baptist Church (FBC).(Northminister United Church moved in with St. David's United.)

FBC held its first 'official' service at the much larger, newly owned church on Sunday, June 4, 2023. It is mortgage free. Again, what Satan tried to destroy, God instead, grew the church and gave it a more suitable location.

I was in Alberta the last two days. They seem like sheep. Trying to be too polite to speak truth. Seem to think someone is looking over their shoulder. A fellow made a comment in poor taste about Trudeau and they all laughed under their breath.

[Vendome]

Now sue them for violations in Canada

[Getready]

Xlnt ending to the political machinations.
