Here’s hoping C&C readers abandoned any ships that were working for the government during the biggest scam of our lifetimes, and found a honest house of worship to call home. Those that resisted the temptation of the almighty dollar earned your trust. Those that didn’t torched it.
Covid opened many religious eyes. I saw, for the first time, how my Catholic Church had been infiltrated. I now attend the Traditional Latin Mass and worship among devout believers in Our Lord Jesus Christ. The ‘woke’ won’t force me out of my own Church as we stand up for traditional faith.
We too are searching for the Latin mass!

Thanks for the link! I look at the locations, and Florida is surprisingly not well covered. Only a few on the whole east coast.
I wonder if you could do something about that?

These are on the western part of Florida.
I’m not catholic but I would like to attend a Latin one. I think with the rest of the liturgy it would be a very spiritual experience. God can still speak to someone through any outward seeking of Him. No matter the language.
There is a group, Floriani, that sings Traditional Latin chants. Their latest album is called "Chants of Deliverance" (available on iTunes) and the "Dies Ires" is truly a spiritual experience. If you can't find a Latin Mass, listen to some of their music.
From my perspective ( as a student of a few languages) I find that He speaks to me more clearly when I am "working" in a language not native to me. When I read the scriptures in English I miss so many points!
I attend the FSSP Church in Rapid City, SD. I’ve been to the one in Littleton, CO and it was excellent. Sadly, when I visit NC the TLM is very hard to find. The FSSP, SSPX and the ICKSP have numerous churches in the US but I pray many more will become available. Slowly, the Vatican is removing the TLM from each Novus Ordo parish …
My Catholic Church was awesome and never once pushed the jab. I wonder if some of it came down from the diocese. My Catholic Church was a religious order so they don’t fall under the diocese for matters like that.
Eastern Orthodox is looking better and better BUT you have to be careful about which denomination and who ultimately controls it....
Prayers up for Pastor Jakes, no one wants to see another person suffer the way he did. Hope he recovers soon.
Though he is ill and we pray for him, that doesn't shield him from criticism. TJ Jakes has a *long* history of teaching non-biblical doctrine, most notably the prosperity gospel ("name it and claim it"). This teaching really is cancerous as it completely twists the gospel turning God into a genie that grants "believers" wishes provided they play the game correctly. This is so at odds with the whole counsel of God that it cannot be condemned strongly enough.
It's so surprise people that don't know the Bible (or perhaps do know it but teach it falsely) got sucked completely into the whole Covid narrative. Even worse, they promoted it. There needs to be a serious reckoning in the church along with the public health and medical establishment.
During the mask freak period, I sat through a sermon where the priest articulated quite strongly the sinfulness of living in fear. After Mass I commented to him the irony of saying such to a congregation full of people wearing masks. To which he replied: "some things are worth being afraid of." Okay padre, I'm off to another parish.
Terrible answer, as I don't recall seeing the mask exception to "trust God and do not fear" in the Bible.
One though can exercise caution and good judgment without being fearful. I don't recklessly speed through red lights to show I'm trusting God. Solid scientific evidence that shows the benefits of masking outweighs the risks, along with a reasoned decision to wear a mask based on that evidence, would qualify. But of course that evidence doesn't exist and it wasn't why people were wearing masks. It was usually out of fear or virtue signaling.
Another valid reason was to comply with the orders of the civil authority put in place by God as we are told to do in Romans 13. However, many Christians continued to wear masks longs after those orders were rescinded.
If the government issues a dictate that requires me to non-verbally signal that I disbelieve the Gospel and do not trust God, I will not comply, and with a clear conscience.
Romans 13 is not a blanket statement to always obey every rule issued by civil authorities, as is evidenced by numerous godly people in the Bible disobeying rules set forth by man, like "bow down and worship this statue of me," for instance. Since masks were ineffective, wearing them just to comply with civil authorities was lending support to a lie, or several lies.
Romans 13 clearly states that "rulers are not a terror to good works. but to evil." It says that in order to be unafraid of authority, we should do what is good and we will be commended by said authority. Paul goes on to say that the ruler is God's messenger, avenging wrath on the evildoer. SO . . . what if the rulers actually ARE a terror to good works? What if we do good and are PERSECUTED by authorities? What if our authorities are avenging wrath on the doers of GOOD? Seems to me there is room for resistance even in scripture, particularly when the authorities jailed Christians, even put them to death, just for being followers of The Way. Otherwise they wouldn't have lowered Paul down in a basket through an opening in the wall (Acts 9:24) to subvert plans to have him executed--he would have just let himself be arrested. (Use the senses you have that have been honed to discern good from evil.)
Yes, completely agree. We must not obey civil authorities when they command us to violate God's word. This would mean either commanding us to do something the Bible prohibits, or forbidding us to do something the Bible requires.
My point was that would have been a *biblical* response JohnS's question to his pastor. They then could have dug into if either of the two conditions above apply. Instead his pastor told him "trust God and do not fear" is just a platitude, free to be ignored if one is so inclined.
This is the point that is always missed. Our subservience and obedience MUST always be in terms of the standard of God's Law. That is the standard of righteousness. But the church today ignores and discounts the law of God. "God is love!" No... God is righteousness and He brings judgement and blessings in terms of His Law Word. American Christianity is wandering in the wilderness of ignorance concerning His Law. We don't believe in it anymore - except for insincere lip service. "The people perish for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
Ah.. I don’t see much these days that qualifies as orders from Godly leaders. That is I see very few Godly leaders. So I don’t obey if things seem “off”. Going through red lights could harm others absolutely. That’s an easy one, Jeff. It was a little harder to discern what we just went through with only an attitude of obedience to power. Unless I’m reading “valid reason” wrong. Masks were wrong and plenty of evidence (like over 150 studies prove it) what about the developmental delay in children now being studied? I could go on and on but won’t. . Blessings and happy thanksgiving.
Don't forget we were commanded to stand in our 6 foot circle of life.
There was a scientist who spoke out about how bad the mask were and that we will see the side effects for years to come. One side effect which bothered me a lot was the onset of dementia would happen even younger in people the other was delay in learning for children.
"They" successly propagandized people that the masks were about saving others people's lives instead of your own.
Guilt might be second only to fear as a means for government's manipulation of the masses.
More for some
Holy cow!
Wow 😡
You said, "There needs to be a serious reckoning in the church along with the public health and medical establishment."
I agree, but I would add that "there needs to be a serious reckoning in the church *regarding its deference to* the public health and medical establishment.
Too many Christians think there is a divide between God and science, and specifically medical science. They think it is morally wrong not to listen to the experts, and say things like "God gave us modern medicine, vaccines, medical technology, etc. as means by which He can heal us." But they use no discernment whatsoever in deciding whether or not to follow the advice of their physicians. And so many people in each congregation work in the field of medicine, and are seen as caring and altruistic, and I don't doubt that many of them truly want to help people. It's just that they themselves have been led astray by the system, and no one wants to criticize medicine because they don't want to be seen as ignorant or uncaring.
I've concluded that most people only believe in God up to the point where believing in God becomes scary, unsettling, life course altering, and so on. Most people little understand what 'the purpose of Man is to glorify God' really means ... nor how to abide in that. And it seems that locking up churches, wearing masks, social distancing, wearing the abjectly stupid plastic face shields and bowing down to the god-state took first row seat precedence over Man's prime duty which again ... is to Glorify God in all things. During the C19 Terror Campaign all Christian sourced and based reason was chucked out the window (actually most astonishingly, it apparently was not even there in the first place!).
C-19 really opened my eyes, clarified to a large extent as to what people were really about with 'actions speaking louder than words' as the highest tier of good instruction.
You know, that reminds me of the Israelites who, even after being delivered from Egypt through the water, still had no idea what the purpose of man was and that generation had to die in the wilderness.
True.
If doctors want to "help people" for the sake of generating good feelings in their flesh, then they have their reward. If, by disregarding epistemic responsibility, they harm people in the same vein, they will answer for it to a Holy God.
You are NOT referring to Energy Density Frequency Medicine that is ALTERNATIVE medicine with NO side-effects that God did give us so we don't have to worry about sickness or big pharma or expensive doctors, etc. It works in about 10 minutes and costs 2 cents per treatment.

Exactly Tonya.
Everyone needs to read the book by Megan Basham, Shepherds for Sale. Very revealing!
Thank you, Deb! I was about to post the same thing. A must read!
You are so welcome! It is sure eye-opening!!!
Excellent book!
Thanks Jeff. So many claim Christianity yet do not have a spiritual awakening. They toot religion which is the same thing the Pharisees and Sadducees did. Jesus said it, "You have to be born again by the Holy Spirit!" Many Christians do not get this and still only live in the flesh.
Not only Prosperity Gospel but he’s non-Trinitarian. Just another religious huckster.
💯
Not specific to religious leaders, but Open The Books published an article a couple days ago on government spending to “combat covid misinformation”, this one of the items they uncovered:
“$1,293,614, Department of Health and Human Services, University of Iowa. To leverage trusted community members to address “disparities in COVID testing and vaccine uptake.”
No details on how many people they paid off with that sum, but this likely applies across the whole country. If they were pushing the shots, the were getting $$$.

Watch session 4 of Event 201 and you'll see their game plan... which included influencing church leaders.
The attack on Christians in many cases was right under our very noses. Killing them off via "vaccine" injection was purposeful. And they will be judged accordingly by the God that they deny. Or rather, they will judge themselves pretty badly when they are unable to lie to Him. If I'm to understand many NDE stories (Near Death Experiences), your THOUGHTS are communicated instantly to people. They will seek to hide from Him.
Also Meghan Basham's book "Shepherds for Sale."
I am on my 2nd reading of this book! Excellent read... and very eye opening!
I found a fantastic Christian church. The dynamic pastor in a nearby town refused to shut down during covid. They kicked him out. He opened a new church in my town about a year ago and I am back in the fold after decades of giving up on organized religion. It’s a breath of fresh air after all the Catholic guilt.
The PCUSA went for the narrative, pushed it on their website. That finished it for me, though a member for 26 years.
I'm SURE our church would not have taken any financial bribes as they do not in all other areas. However, I have heard through the grapevine (well, a relative who knows one of the top leaders) that our church leadership were arm twisted pretty hard. I don't know how, but another top leader said later in the context of the lockdowns and inability to worship (being unconstitutional), "Never again!"
