Oh, Canada: Provincial Authorities FENCE OFF a Church
Adding insult to injury, there's two layers of fencing, all on the private, church property, and a black tarp shroud overlaying the side of the church. Apparently the good news of Jesus is dangerous, and needs to be squelched. Are there no good ol' boys with pickups and tow chains in Canada? Pretty sure it wouldn't be a problem to rip that fencing down and drag it away. |

Romans 8:38-39 -
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8 - 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Fear not! |

I'd take a ride up and do it, but Canadian jails can be brutal. I hear they only have 25 channels and they put pineapple on their pizzas. The guards come around in the middle of your sleep and shout apologies repeatedly.

i'm sure someone in that congregation has a large farm nearby. all y'all come by for a lunch, and while we set things up, Pastor Coates will give us his thoughts on a relevant Bible verse from the back of a F-150. done.

Church is where you make it. The structure is just a convenience.

The people of this country better wake up and see what socialism is doing in Canada and make sure it doesn't happen here.

Since this is a thread about a church that preaches the Gospel of Christ, and the pastor is a graduate of the Master's Seminary, which has been led for many years by another pastor that I follow, John MacArthur, I do not hesitate to post relevant verses from the Bible. I do not pound others with my beliefs, that would be rude and unbiblical (see above). but if you ask, I will tell you what I believe and why. in your case, it seems you know already. but at the same time, Christians are called on to tell the world about God's offer of salvation from damnation and eternal hell, not knowing who God has chosen to be in heaven from before the foundation of the universe. God knows His elect, and He will save all of them. as a long ago preacher put it: there are only two kinds of people in the world: the Saints and the ain'ts. do you know which one you are? |

“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” ― George Orwell This story is a case where a group of people who won't turn the other cheek need to intervene and do something. Jeep 4x4 club? Bunch of drunk Canadian truck drivers? Those fences need to forcibly come down, and it seems the church membership isn't going to do it. Jesus rolled the stone away, I don't see why followers of Jesus, or more likely, allies of followers of Jesus, can't roll away (or jerk out and drag) some portable fencing. This couldn't be any better of a case to make a point. Say a group of anonymous truckers converge on the church property, hook up to the fencing, and drag it off. What is the province willing to do to escalate things? Will they send in hundreds of state police? Mobilize the National Guard? Exactly how far will they take it to keep parishioners away from their church? This could easily be a major David vs. Goliath story, and I really wish folks up there would push that issue. It's the only way this bullshit Wu flu nonsense will stop, when the people say enough is enough. |

Alberta is policed by the RCMP, that is, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I'm pretty sure that my Jeep could outrun an officer on a horse. |

I’m betting over 50% of Canadians support it. Sickening.

My church and over 200K churches didn't shut down when Gavin"I'am out the door soon" Newsom tried to shut all churches back in California last April 2020. Now most of them are open despite what that LOSER said.

Romans 13:1 KJV
[1] Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Christians are commanded to obey the law. The only exceptions are if the govt prohibits you from doing what God commands you to to, or if they require you to do something that God prohibits you to do. That assembly will meet. Somewhere. Just not in that building this week. They have access to lawyers. Sort it out in court. Peacefully. |

Christianity does a good job pacifying society.
