Canada Jails a Church Building & Pastors Are Detained in Finland

GraceLife Church in Canada

Many people are aware of what's been happening to GraceLife Church in Alberta, Canada, and how authorities have had fences put around the church to try to keep people out.

That will not stop the church (and has not), but it is persecution despite those who don't seem to realize it.  When Costco is full, and the churches are told they can only have 15% (ignoring Scripture), something is wrong.  This is what I might say to someone who is arguing Romans 13 means the government can endlessly shut the churches (for more than a year).

If the government told you to lie, would you do it?  

Daniel prayed openly, the apostles kept on preaching, people would not bow to Baal.

This was from last Sunday that I listened to (when it was finally uploaded):

Sadly, many want to insult churches that are meeting, and call them a cult or lawbreakers.

These people are likely some of the most law-abiding, loving toward police, respectful people you would meet. 

(When it snows in Canada, do you want them freezing outside?)

GraceLife is a church with a godly pastor who attended The Master's Seminary.

He is standing up for truth, and do you want to be known for attacking some of God's people (especially those who claim to be Christians)?

Many also are aware that John MacArthur read a letter from Pastor James Coates this past Sunday at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA.

Grace Community has been experiencing it's own court battles (although yesterday I read that some restrictions on location and numbers of people are no longer being applied to churches due to a Supreme Court ruling).

They had already postponed the hearing for John / the church.

I have also been watching a guy named Devin Davis who attends GraceLife Church in Canada streaming online, and his patience, peace-making, and giving people the Gospel during these times has been admirable.

You can see God is working through him, James Coates, and others from the church during these hard times.

Devin is human (not sinless), but I really was glad to see his being such a great testimony there in Canada.  I hope he continues whenever he is able!

By the way, the person who moved the fence (or people) were not GraceLife people, but they got carried away in the moment I believe.  GraceLife was not a part of that.

Pastors Detained in Finland

Today, I watched this video about pastors who were detained in Finland.

Yes, these things are happening around the world, and people need to be made aware about it.

Please watch this and share it:

Christians, please be praying for & sharing about these situations.
