Jennie Wells Hughes I’m a southerner so I appreciate his theatrics. I also agree with him to some degree. But I’ll be watching the pastors I know and follow to see how God leads them. I’m praying for smart leadership in the church!!
Kitkat Fugett No legislative entity within the US can do because it's unconstitutional. The person who wrote the order should be in federal court for breaking a constitutional law.
Mary Lou Lovell God bless this Pastor. He is right to take a stand to preserve our religious liberties. It is the most essential part of every community.
Brenda Kensok Pickle I am getting a very evil and dark feeling about the direction of our country right now. We need to get on our knees and start praying hard. We need normal not the new evil normal
Michael Flowers Letting churches open up for services is fine. We can't implement standards that allow places to open while restricting churches, or religious places. Sometimes going to MARKET NEWS is just a necessary for someone as it is to go to tbe grocery store. That being said, anyone who goes is subject to the risks that accompany going to a public space.
Tricia Fenga Russell If it wasn’t for churches, my family would not have had any food through this pandemic and that was the case for many. They help more people than the government ever will.
TroyandAmy Kurtz Jesus said to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are God's (Mt. 22:21). We have a divine mandate to attend church (Hebrews 10:25) and when the Government trys to stop us we are to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29).
Solimar Delgado I would ask if he and all the other pastors think like that about our military who hold religious services overseas in war torn countries? See to serve the Lord you don’t need a temple, church or parish. It’s about your relationship with God. With Samwel Uko Death - Dead : Samwel Uko Obituary : Cause of Death Unknown don’t understand how they can’t have services through zoom or some other site?
Beth Stewart Molesworth I went into Wal-Mart in Rexburg, ID. Maybe 20 out of 100's in the store had a mask on. My husband and I wore ours. Every employee had one on. But we're not supposed to go to church?! Absolutely ridiculous! Good for this Pastor!
Paul Blattner Don't postpone services because the government says so. The 1st Amendment makes restricting the free exercise of religion illegal. The 14th Amendment specifies that states are also restricted by the 1st Amendment. But Heckys bbq Owner Hecky Powell Death - Dead : Hecky Powell Obituary : Cause of Death Unknown said that we we're to act motivated by love - to our brothers, to our neighbors, even to our enemies. If having services without distancing, masks, etc. could spread disease, that is NOT LOVING.
Donna Lambert Day My hat is off to this pastor! Do pastors not see what is actually going on? This is not about a virus folks! Why are pastors being silent? We are sheep, perhaps it Is time to ask ourselves who we are letting shepherd us.
Bill Harley Stand Strong God will always deliver even if it's in the fiery furnace, the Lions Den, the phillipian jail, or wherever else it becomes necessary for the believer.
Rob Krajeck 1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
