Don’t let your preacher tell you how hard it is to be a leader right now, in terms of navigating current regulations, lockdowns, or mandates while yet remaining faithful to the Lord.
It is not difficult. It is not complicated. It is not nuanced.
The lines have never been clearer. The path has never been so obvious. The case has never been this cut-and-dry.
Caesar is not head of the church. Take your stupid masks off. Remove the social distancing signs. Send a note to the health board telling them to pound sand, and continue with the Lord’s work as usual.
The issue is only “complicated” when you desire to equally please both God and tyrant.
In twenty-one years a pastor, I have never had such clarity in regards to the mission and direction of the church. Obey Jesus. Ignore tyrants. Rinse. Repeat.
It’s not that complicated.
