This past Sunday our pastor delivered another amazing sermon. At the end, he spoke directly to the ‘online worshippers’. Not to the ones traveling or home sick but to the ones who have been online for the past two years initially out of fear but now out of comfort, convenience and complacency. To be the body of Christ, we grow in our faith when worshipping with other believers. He urged them to get off the couch and get back in the pew. He also challenged us as a congregation that coming to church wasn’t solely about receiving God’s word, it is about serving God. We can’t just sit in the pews and be fed, we need to get up and get active in ministry.
I find parallels to our pastor’s sermon in Attorney Tricia Lindsay’s 10 minute speech (this is a POWERFUL speech) she gave at a freedom rally in NYC just last month. She had been an educator prior to becoming a lawyer and she calls out the dumbing down of our students in public schools, she calls out the atrocity of mandates and why it is illegal to force someone to take a medical experiment against their will and finally she calls us to get off the couch and take back our country. This means more than just going to vote in November. She challenges us to reach out and teach others about what is happening.
Recently I invited someone to attend a freedom conference where I was going to be speaking. This is a dear friend of mine, a faithful Christian woman whom I love dearly. Her response was ‘that it is not my kind of thing’. My response, ‘you mean freedom is not your kind of thing?' and just walked away. Later, I shared with her that this may on the surface seem like it is all about COVID but it is NOT! This is about our ability to go to church and worship. No, we are not likely to lose this ability anytime soon but if the LEFT and the Globalists have their way, it won’t be a freedom our children’s generation gets to experience.
Who would have thought ten years ago that we would be talking about the idea of there being more than two genders? Who would have thought that there would be emojis of pregnant men? Who would have thought that young women would have to share a bathroom with a boy who wants to pretend he’s a girl? Who would have thought we could shut down society for two years, force them into such a fearful state that they would want to cover the faces of their beautiful children? Who would have thought people would line up for a shot, developed by an industry with a fraudulent history and 100% shielded from liability?
We’re like a bunch of crabs in a very warm pot of water. Some of us have realized what is going on and see the writing on the wall. Once you do, you can’t unsee it and it can make you feel powerless to take on a Global Agenda. But grab another crab, try to pull them from the water before it gets too hot! You’re not going to be able to change a committed LEFTIST but there are plenty of people in the middle right now who are lost and wandering. Whether they be Christians looking for a church that is not woke or friends of faith who are just a little too comfortable in the pew. We don’t have time to wake the sheep, we must awaken other lions!
Here is a meme salad, just too many that apply here:
And my ABSOLUTE favorite and the passion that drives me off the couch:
God bless you and all that honor and take public stands for the truth. I find it a strange and tragic thing that everyone speaks in favor of ‘the truth’, but so few have the love for it that is necessary, if it is to serve as an anchor in the storm, or a guide in a trackless expanse.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
“…and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
BUT (Behold the Underlying Truth), God…
