Where are our Churches? Asleep? Lulled away by their 501(c)3 too scared to stand up to the Communist Oregon Regime because they might lose their tax exemption? Why else would they not be suing the governor right now for religious freedoms?
Shame on you! Not one church in Oregon has filed a lawsuit against this draconian lockdown. If you’re a pastor or a worship leader, shame on you for allowing Walmart to be open and not your church. You have no spine nor power. What God do you worship?
Not the God of the King James Bible. Not Jesus the Christ of Nazareth. You are bound. Bound to bow down to the IRS devil instead of the God of infinite power. Jesus said let no man deceive you yet you deceived yourself into believing that you have to file income tax for your church.
You fooled yourself into believing the lies of this world that you need to have an agreement with the government. You are not of this world! Isn’t that what your bible says? It’s certainly what mine says.
There were churches before Germany became socialized. They were cowards. Too far gone to help. They took bribes and donations from the Nazi party who promised them safety. Look what happened to Germany.
Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12. If the Oregon churches believed in God then they would be standing up to our Godless governor. He gave you the power! Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father. His work is finished. It’s up to you!
Are they suing? Nope. I typed “Oregon church sues” in all of the search engines and not one church is suing the State for this lockdown. Not one. Shameful. Doesn’t the Bible say “No plague shall come nigh thy dwelling” in Psalms? Maybe the Oregon churches think it means, “No plague except for COVID19”.
Shameful. The people are marching in the streets and the churches are having drive in movies. Completely unaware of the draconian lockdown that is taking place ridding their pew of liberties. I am an assistant pastor to a very small church. We are meeting and discussing how we can sue Kate Brown. We are protesting in Salem (twice) fully awake of the principalities and rulers in high places that have taken over Oregon.
Where are you, church? Where is this power that your God is speaking of? Maybe he’s on vacation? Maybe he’s going to the bathroom as Elijah joked to the prophets of his time. Make no mistake, the Oregon church is bound by evil and if they want their power back, they have to give up their 501(c)3 and stand for their freedom of religion or they’ll be worshipping man real soon.

You are 100% right. The Churches should have been one of the first to stand up against this evil. We need our Churches to fight back and sue, you cowards, I’m ashamed of you
They have walked away from standing up for the citizens for quite some time now. Should have called out government, courts, governors, mayors, political parties….the evil, sick policies and laws and regulations long ago. They use to do the food pantries, counseling couples, pitching in to help families or children … during the hard times and crisis, help finding jobs and ways to help families who were struggling…use to be the community and leaderships in these local churches and so on who were called on to “set the moral standard of this Nation”.
I support this 100%
As a fellow full time minister, I cannot find anything I take issue with you about. Nothing. The Holy Spirit has released me to speak what’s been on my heart about this since mid-March. Our response has been weak, innaccurate and completely ineffective. We should have stood together from the outset and kept the church doors open. Instead we have innapropriately used scriptures about “submitting to authority” as a cover for our fears. There is no shame nor condemnation. Jesus bore that, too, but there must be correction.
Amen brother. I just hope this message reaches all churches in Oregon. I am currently researching attorneys and have $4,000 committed for a lawsuit. If you want to help let me know.
Thank you for speaking truth. I bless you.
Thanks Sherri, a week after I posted this, the churches finally did something. Not because of my post, just timing I guess. James Carner
Our church and many others are currently being helped by Pacific Justice Institute to file for a restraining order against the State of Oregon for violating our religious rights. Stay tuned. Contact Pacific Justice Institute in Salem if you want your church to also be named. They are in need of churches from the eastern side of Oregon.
This is great news! I will look into this and update my column.
