     To what point should Christians comply with COVID restrictions? It is one thing to have reasonable and common sense measures in the interest of public health. At what point do these restrictions cross the line into population control based upon fear?

     People are already being forced to do what they would not do otherwise. Dr. Fauci recently stated that we need to “do as we are told” as if we are little children in need of obedience.

     The operative word here is “control.” This flies in the face of biblical teaching. Romans 13 teaches that Christians should be subject to governing authorities. The context, however, is not population control, but maintaining law and order. 

     It should be obvious by now that the lockdowns are not justified by the statistics. Klaus Swab, chief proponent of the Great Reset (another name for the New World Order), says the lockdowns are a  way of “softening up the population to accept a global techno-fascist revolution.” 

     Christians should have no part in such a godless and arrogant human agenda. We must not alllow ourselves to be programmed or mentally conditioned by anything but the Word of God revealed in the Bible or through the Holy Spirit. 

     II Corinthians 10:5 says to “destroy speculations and every lofty thing raised against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” This “plandemic” and the people who are taking advantage of it to further their global agenda, definitely qualify this as “a lofty thing raised against the knowledge of God.”

     Christians are commanded in the same verse to pro-actively assume control of their thought lives by “taking every thought captive...”

     Is there a proper and biblical balance between being subject to government control, and resisting unreasonable restrictions that are, to a large degree, prepping people for a much larger scenario of population control? The more control that people allow, the more control there will be!

     Each individual Christian, organization, and congregation, must decide to what degree they will comply, keeping in mind the deception, unreasonable measures, statistics that don’t justify lockdowns, and restrictions on freedom to corporate worship (which may infringe on the First Amendment). 

     One final thought is to make sure we are living by faith in God’s promises of protection and provision.
