“We know, you have had a rough year. The worst. Gathering restrictions, changing regulations, financial pressure, ailing church members. Some of your best people were in the hospital dying on ventilators and you could not even go visit them. You sat in your office in an empty church building wondering what was happening, and if you would even have a job next month, doing your best to keep everything afloat.”

Ok, that’s done. Now that we have the obligatory pastoral sympathy out of the way, let’s get to the core issues regarding Covid and the church. Unfortunately, this will not be a feel-good article for you, Pastor, nor your deacons and elders. But it’s what you need to hear.

You know in your heart of hearts that Covid is a real germ, but the restrictions are a total hoax, engineered for government submission training. Millions of people have not died of Covid, and the ones that did had health conditions that made them weak and susceptible to any additional sickness. The mask mandates are political theater, and masks are ineffective at preventing the transmission of viruses. Media is hawking lies and distortions. The government is paying hospitals and scientists with fiat money to support the lie. You might not be saying this out loud, but you know the response is a hoax and lie.

And you have played along with it, just to keep your doors open. Pastor, we have a term for playing along with a lie: Lying.

I ask you, Pastor, to please stop lying. Start telling the truth, and from the pulpit!

Please also understand that this Covid episode is not some isolated event, after which we will get back to a measure of normalcy. No, government deception of the population is the normal, always has been, and Covid is just the latest episode. This pandemic scam has worked so well that Covid will be just the first in an unending chain of pandemic hoaxes. (They might even release legitimately dangerous diseases into the population to lend some credibility to future scams. The best lies have a kernel of truth.)

You have probably preached to your congregation that we are in a spiritual war. At least the best pastors, the Bible believing pastors do. Yep, good vs. evil, since the garden and before. There has been war in Heaven, and that war long ago spilled onto the Earth. You warned them, though it all seemed a bit distant from our lives. But now the war is on your doorstep, and these are times that separate the men from the boys.

Understand that every spiritual war has physical casualties. Just in America, the legalization of abortion has killed over 61 million babies since 1973. Every one of those was a human being, loved by God. This war is not some theoretical spiritual topic of theological study and debate. This is a hot war where real people are dying.

The death toll of the welfare state is less quantifiable, but just as real. Since the Great Society programs were signed into law in the mid-1960’s, twenty-some trillion dollars have been poured into poor communities, cementing poverty into our culture nationwide. Early deaths result from lives lived with zero expectations, low self esteem, little accomplishment, throw away children, crime, disease, drug abuse, prescription drug dependency, and hopelessness. And the church, even the Catholic church, applauds welfare as a gift from God.

Your sermons on spiritual warfare have no doubt mentioned the armor of God, from Ephesians chapter 6. But have you trained your people in such war? Have you trained them to pray the word of God against evil, and the evil schemes of humanity, particularly humans organized as government? You know, Jesus said that wherever two or three Christians are gathered together, he will be in their midst. But it also works the other way, where two or three people not guided by the Spirit of God can be easily influenced by evil, to enslave others. Have you trained them to recognize this evil, and fight it?

Have you trained your people to fight not only in the spiritual realm, but in the natural? Politics is a filthy business, but we have to be involved to restrain evil.

I know, I know, if you preach politics people will leave your church, and the IRS will shut you down. And on that point you are absolutely right. There is a ministry near me which is funded by grants from like minded private Christian organizations. Several years ago, they received a letter from the IRS out of the blue rescinding their 501(c)(3) status. That event destroyed their funding because all the grants were contingent on that nonprofit status. They wrestled with the IRS for about a year and a half before the IRS sent them a letter restoring their 501(c)(3) status, with no explanation of the reason for the revocation, or apology. The financial damage just about put them under. The war is real, just ask Lois Lerner.

Yes, you are taking a risk, a huge risk, in resisting evil, especially government evil. Churches and pastors are being fined, particularly in liberal strongholds.

Do you have the fortitude to reject evil and call it out into the light? Do your deacons and elders? Or are you just playing church?

Will you stand against gender confusion and medical mutilation of children?

Will you adopt the Biblical stand on sexual perversion and pedophilia?

Will you stand up for the unborn?

Will you refuse to cancel your gatherings due to fake pandemics? There are more pandemics on the way, you know.

Will you call evil, evil, where ever you see it? Will you do this no matter the consequences?

Will you resist cancel culture, critical race theory, and race baiting? All lives matter to God, and his opinion is the one that counts.

Will you stand up against the slavery of the welfare state?

Will you educate people in God’s ways and usher the lost of all classes into the Kingdom of God? Even people who don’t look and smell like you, people who have nothing but the clothes on their back?

Will you put your salary, mortgage, and job on the line? Will you believe that God will provide for your family if you follow him without reservation?

These are the questions before you every morning as you look into the bathroom mirror. You can ignore them, but Heaven is shouting these questions at you all day long. Open your ears, listen, and respond. No, it’s not easy. Yes, your wife and children will look at you like you are an idiot.

We need Godly leaders in America. The church has been phoning it in as long as there have been phones. The people running the public sphere have degenerated into evil slave masters, because nobody of moral character has stopped them. Pastors have embraced syncretism, becoming government collaborators and enablers.

You, pastor, are part of the leadership team of America. I know they never told you that in seminary, but there it is. We have very few Godly leaders. We have no heroes. Our politicians are greedy idiots. Justice is being subverted by our own government. Are you just going to sit there in your leather chair counting the offering?

The church in Nazi Germany turned their heads while the ovens blazed. This was not an isolated event as the organized commercial church has historically ducked to avoid the wrath of every dictator Satan has fielded. And it’s all happening again, this time in the land of the free and home of the brave.

Imagine if 100,000 pastors in America (about a third) publicly refused to shut their doors in the face of government hoaxing. How many ordinary citizens would have rallied to their support? How many businesses would have remained open? How many jobs would have been retained? How many lives would not have been ruined, and how many suicides would have been avoided?

That miracle could have started with you, but it didn’t. The next Great Awakening could have launched with you out front, but instead we got the Great Awokening.

Pastor, stop with the Romans 13 deflection that we should submit to government. The government is using submission to strip us of our God-given rights, making us slaves to socialism. I will certainly submit to just government, but not a government that has funded the murder of 61 million of its own citizens. That’s submission to Satan.

The scripture that applies here is in Romans 12: Hate what is evil, cling to what is good.

Is it worth your home and job and bank account to move against evil? For 95% of pastors, the answer is a resounding no! But to that courageous 5% I ask, are you ready? Will you move against evil and for the good? Will you take your congregation to the front lines of this spiritual and physical war? Will you encourage them to live as servants of God and free men and women of America?

(If you, reader, are a layperson like the author, send this article to your pastor with an invitation to coffee. If he shows up and shows courage, support him to the bitter end, but if he waffles and makes excuses, find a pastor with courage. Time is drawing short.)
