The Letter

 "Beloved... I found it necessary to write to you, appealing to you to contend for the faith". Jude 3.

Some of you may recall a posting here a few months ago concerning a letter signed by several hundred Christian ministers to government in respect to rejecting the use of vaccine passports in churches and society.

Given the recent escalation evidenced on this, I'm delighted to inform you the letter is to be re-issued for a second time, with many more signatures added.

I am also grateful to the Irreverend team for their work in facilitating this conversation on the issue today, which brings to the fore some of the key material on this matter highlighted in the letter.

Irreverend's broadcast yesterday chose to examine the story of how a corrupt king Uzziah (2 Chronicles 26) sought to use the temple of God for his own purposes, and had to be stopped by both the priests and the Lord, but the problem in our day is that there has been almost total silence and suspension of action against the powers who have done this in the past year.

As I noted in the comments on Irreverend's You Tube broadcast yesterday: "The 'King' (government) presumed to enter the 'temple' (auspices of the church) last March, deeming it to be "non-essential" as it 'burned insence' to the supremacy of science, and here, there was not one, never mind eighty, bold men to stop them. As one English monarch would have put it, 'the birds had flown". If you sign the passport letter and then act like the guy from the UBM (preventing unvaccinated Christians from engaging in ministry), then that tells you just how anaemic the church here is. Oh, for some Doug Wilson's in the UK church!"

I'd thoroughly recommend a read of J L Fuller's recent but already best-selling book, Romans 13 and Covid 19 to examine where we have gone so wrong, what is now unfolding, and where this is leading.Let us pray that God's people will indeed seek in these days to become a city on a hill in respect to their witness and testimony for freedom and truth.
