‘Evangelicals for Trump’ Defy Nevada Church Restrictions by Worshiping in Casino
The Western Journal ^ | AUGUST 08, 2020 | C. DOUGLAS GOLDEN

In Nevada, you can’t have more than 50 people meet for a religious service. However, the state’s lifeblood — casinos — can operate at 50 percent capacity, a much less strict restriction.

If you’re Evangelicals for Trump, there’s an easy workaround to that: Hold a church service in a Las Vegas casino.

The event took place at the Ahern Hotel and Convention Center in Las Vegas on Thursday, according to Fox News.

The venue is one of Vegas’ numerous facilities that combine hotel and convention space with casino facilities.

Headlined by Trump spiritual adviser Paula White, the church service took aim at the absurdity and arbitrary nature of Nevada’s worship restrictions — and received support from the Trump campaign.

“In a time when many Nevadans can’t go to church because of overreaching restrictions, President Trump’s campaign is bringing together evangelicals from across the community to pray, worship and discuss key issues facing Americans in the November election,” said Trump 2020 deputy national press secretary Ken Farnaso, according to Fox News.

Faith and Freedom Coalition chairman Ralph Reed tweeted a video of the event, showing proper social distancing.

Not just clever, maybe even some gamblers felt the power of Christians worshipping God together as called to do, and will start attending regularly.

My college church had no building of its own when it was new so they rented a car showroom. Every Sunday, the cars were replaced with folding chairs and we worshipped with a bunch of car and auto part logos danging from the ceiling.

Now, in Panama, our country is under a full lockdown on Saturdays and Sundays. So my church is temporarily moving Sunday services to Monday mornings.

Every church service should be deemed a ‘peaceful protest’ against Satan 😊.

Do not “protest against satan” because such protest remains Focused On satan. Instead, “protest for God and Divine Guidance”; where the mental focus is with God and Divinely Inspired thoughts and actions.
