So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard."
Acts 4:18-20

Last time we said we must not let differences between believers regarding the virus, or the government’s handling of it, divide the body of Christ, We must resist the temptation to accuse believers of being less spiritual that those on “our side.”

There are issues over which that kind of division is not only justified, but necessary! There are issues about which we must not only say “No” to the government, but insist that Christians be united in doing so. One such issue that is clearly on the horizon is the LGBTQ agenda. The Church cannot insist, much less force, the unbelieving world to think biblically on this matter. But if or when the government demands Christian churches and/or ministers to perform homosexual marriages, or hire people—or even accept into membership those who live in, or even support these anti-biblical positions—we will have to say “No.” No matter what the cost.

And because this matter is not one of personal conviction, but a matter of clearly revealed biblical doctrine, we will have to separate from those who call themselves Christians who oppose scripture.

How? The last bit next time…
