While Americans still fight and struggle with the Biden administration over the COVID-19 drug, places like New Zealand are showing just how quickly freedoms can be stripped away by the government. Already allowing the overrated COVID-19 to dictate how they live and act, the New Zealand government recently instituted the COVID Protection Framework on December 3rd. The new program requires churches to massively limit the number of people they allow to attend in person. Of course, that rule changes if churches only allow vaccinated people.
Seeing the new government overreach as a direct attack on their religious beliefs, Calvary Chapel Pastors have banded together, calling for officials to reevaluate the procedure they have put in place.
Sending a letter to NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Pastor Jim Delor of Calvary Chapel Waimate said, “We at all the Calvary Chapels here in NZ are resolute not to turn away anyone due to vaccination status.”
In the letter , the pastors point out that they can’t turn away people in society over vaccination status due to Christ’s biblical teaching to take care of everyone. “As pastors in New Zealand, we are praying for you and your government at this challenging time as you seek to navigate our nation through the current Covid-19 pandemic. We pray for ‘all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness’ ( 1 Timothy 2:1–2 ). We do, however, have serious concerns with your government’s implementation of vaccination mandates and certificates.”
The pastors added, “As pastors in the church, our mission and calling are clear. We are to act as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ by shepherding, loving, serving, and caring for whosoever is in need. The ministry of the church and the Christian gospel is to the ‘whosoever’ of society and is not determined by ethnicity, language, age, gender, orientation, education, social status, nor vaccination status. In fact, it is often the church that ventures out to serve and care for the marginalized of our society.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
