We were reminded by Justice Alito's words this week, which is telling about the feeling of religious liberty in America. He stated, "It pains me to say this, but in certain quarters religious liberty is fast becoming a disfavored, right." Which means that there are politicians and individuals of academia that religion is not considered a liberty, a right under the constitution. We have seen this with the lockdowns in many states where churches were shut down. Pastors did not stand up and fight to keep their churches open, they bowed down to government and let government shut the doors of churches. At least we have a good example of what should be done in our fight for religious liberty. The Little Sisters of the Poor had a case where the Obama administration was trying to force them to go against their beliefs. The justice talked about this, he said, "Take the protracted campaign against the Little Sisters of the Poor in order of Catholic nuns, the Little Sisters or women who have dedicated their lives to caring for the elderly, poor, regardless of religion.......despite this inspiring work, the little sisters have been under unrelenting attack for the better part of a decade. Why because they refused to allow their health insurance plan to provide contraceptives to their employees. For that they were targeted......! But the sisters fought for their beliefs and stood firm and won. However, today government shut our churches down because of covid and pastors did nothing. Just a handful stood up, but most fell and obeyed government instead of God. Remember, God was praying in the garden and the disciples lay sleeping. God was upset because they lay there sleeping. Today God is angry with todays pastors for sleeping and allowing government to shut them down. Where are you now? Stop praying for God's help when you sit there silent and allow government to shut you down. The justice is so right, pastors you are wrong. Defy government and open up your doors.
