Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God! -John Knox

As the days roll out in front of us in America today, people are finally beginning to understand that all of this sensationalized hype that the mainstream media is driving is not about a virus, but another created crisis to wield more power over the people (Ephesians 4:14).

Americans are learning the history that our forefathers exhibited in their lives in order to make us a free people (1 Timothy 6:12).

On the other hand, there are many that are lullabied into actually believing that America is being made great again by this current administration.  Nothing could be further from the truth (Isaiah 5:20).

Well, maybe one could believe it if they were not the ones that were under attack, like that of Pastor Jack Trieber of North Valley Baptist Church who detailed how Santa Clara County is fining the church $50,000 each week for meeting indoors, violating government restrictions and guidelines.

CBN News reported:

Churches in California have repeatedly been under attack for exercising their First Amendment rights by gathering to pray and worship. Now they are facing fines for singing together.

Liberty Counsel, a Christian religious rights law firm, reported that Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks was found to be in contempt of court last Friday for violating the state’s COVID-19 health orders.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s orders prohibit all in-person worship, including home Bible studies and fellowship.

North Valley Pastor Jack Trieber declared that churches have a fundamental right to worship together.

“You can’t have any law against assembling in God’s house. None,” he said. “I know we have a Constitutional right to worship, but we have a Higher Power that we answer to. I have a biblical mandate. We have obeyed authority in this church. We’ve always obeyed authority. But when local authority begins to disregard this authority, we go with this book right here,” he added while holding a Bible.

Bryon Foxx, who supports Pastor Trieber tweeted, “Pray for North Valley Baptist Church, Pastor Jack Trieber, Santa Clara, CA. The actual cease and desist letter was posted to their doors. I fully support Pastor Trieber as he plans to conduct services tomorrow. ‘We ought to obey God, rather than men (Acts 5:29)’.”

Friends, I have always said, “Let their cruelties swell our ranks,” and they are (Exodus 1:12).

In response to those who are operating foreign to that of the delegated powers that have been entrusted unto them by “We the People,” Americans are beginning to give them a refresher course as to whom they serve under God (Psalm 33:12).

Todd Starnes recently reported that more than 12,000 Christians defy governor and worship at the California capitol.

More than 12,000 thousands of all races and backgrounds gathered in the sweltering heat to worship Jesus Christ at the state capitol building in Sacramento, California.

The Christians did so in defiance of Governor Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor responsible for shutting down many churches across the state.

The Sacramento Bee, a leftist newspaper, noted that most of those attending were not wearing masks and they were not in compliance with the governor’s mandates.

But the Christians were not there to please the Sacramento Bee or Governor Newsom. They were there to worship Jesus.

“America was founded on the freedom to worship,” said Sean Feucht, organizer of the ‘Let Us Worship’ rally. “Politicians can write press releases. They can make threats. They can shut down parks. They can put up fences.

But they can’t stop the Church of Christ from worshipping the One True God.”

I conclude with Daniel 3:17-18:

“If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.”

Amen!
