The church is the gathering together of the called out ones. The constitution guarantees our freedom of religion- it was one of the freedoms our founders wanted to protect. Now the gov. of CA is saying we do not have the right to gather. It seems to me that all Christians in CA should be loudly protesting this infringement. It is the job of government to protect those rights, not to curtail them. There is a protest gathering here in San Diego this evening; I for one plan to attend.

People whine about 2-Party "gridlocks," but California is proof that a single Party wielding power will destroy itself.

I have always thought that "gridlock" was a great thing, since politicians doing nothing is better than politicians doing bad things.

The time will come when Christians will be forced to honor Acts 5.29 over Romans 13.1. The Lord will use this to separate the "sheep" from the "goats."

I remember when I used to be so frustrated about how slow things moved in DC. But then I realized the same thing - it's usually good that things in the federal government don't move so fast!

Like what Churchhill and others said, "Democracy is the worst form of government - except all the others."

I feel there should be two strong parties in the US ; the republicans and the libertarians. And they should squabble about how to keep the least intrusive government. The dems are showing their true colors which is totally fascist. Rule with mobs, intimidation, group imposed mentality. Very dangerous to the constitution.

Republicans and Libertarians have day jobs, and can't go out every night Burning, Looting, Murdering.

who is to say those going out burning, looting, and murdering are not being paid to do it? They can't simply travel from another city or region and cause all this mayhem at their own expense? How do you pay for food, clothing, and travel expenses.
Normal reasonable people would not do that to the communities they live and shop in.

Libertarian party represents that which the Democratic party used to, but no longer does......Civil Liberties. It's only due to lack of advertising dollars does it appear the Libertarian party doesn't have any traction, Yet really, they should be attracting those who have been lifelong Democrats.
Today many affiliated with the Democratic party system are truly fascists. They want to get rid of the 1st and 2nd Amendment for starters if not the entire Constitution. Control over free speech and right to bear arms will enable them to impose their will and run roughshod over all people. There is one word that describes their "rule with mobs, intimidation, and group imposed mentality" and that is entitlement. They are like undisciplined spoiled children. If they don't get their way, a temper tantrum will follow. which is destructive behavior.

Unless you watch a lot of fake news, a normal person would never think that.

Perhaps Covid has affected you?

Someone said it best: "that's what we get when they stopped spanking naughty kids 25 years ago."

Some of these kids would be greatly benefited by some public caning, like they did in Singapore to that brat who vandalized cars. Remember how Pres. Clinton even got involved? We were supposedly a more "advanced" country who would never do such a thing. Under Clinton, America over-reacted to Singapore's strict laws.

Two other things also happened about the same time. Corporal punishment (aka spanking) became basically outlawed in schools and in homes, to be replaced by an ineffective "time out," which has now been replaced by the more worthless practice of "redirecting." And in Congress, Sen. Joe Biden spearheaded more severe punishments for blacks in his now infamous Crime Bill of 1994.

Look at the result today after a quarter century of "field testing." BLM is protesting unequal justice for blacks, and out-of-control ANTIFA whites have become anarchist rioters. Biden's Crime Bill gave much stiffer sentences for Blacks on crack cocaine than for Whites on powder cocaine. Same drug, same crime, different sentences based on skin color. Trump alone has made serious corrections to this injustice with the First Step Act. Obama/Holder did nothing about it.

Study all of the facts here! Do a decent study of history! Gather up all of the info on Biden and Trump going back 50 years! Joe Biden is the actual RACIST that they constantly accuse Trump of being. The media hides all of Biden's racist remarks and legislation, all the while fabricating a propaganda smear job on Trump.

2018- when I was part of a Facebook group I recall the negative reaction I got over spanking. My goodness. How unglued people get over discipline.
Must be reflective to their LC childhood. Someone must have made cedar paddles for their parents.

We have become an age of extremes.

If I say that covid shutdowns have done more harm than good, then I am a murderer and anti-science. But every indicator says that. When we say "science" how can we limit ourselves to only a couple of specialized scientists, without peer review, or even public discourse.

Since when did we vote to make Dr. Fauci our Dictator? When I learned that he sent $Millions to this Chinese bio-warfare laboratory to study bat-viruses, I lost all respect for the character. Based on his past actions and notable associations, I think he should be tried for treason.

Great quote.

Churchill also described my voting history when he said, "If you are young and not liberal, you don't have a heart. If you are older, and not a conservative, you don't have a brain."

My first vote was for McGovern, my next will be for Trump.

In the USA, the highest power IS the constitution. The Constitution is our country’s king- elected officials are sworn to uphold it. Christians should in all things honor our king, or we’re not following the scriptural admonition.
