With [Russell] Moore nodding along, [Francis] Collins held up a basic, over-the-counter cloth square, “This is not a political statement,” he asserted. “This is not an invasion of your personal freedom…This is a life-saving medical device.”
Rick [loves robes and women pastors] Warren – “Warren and Collins spent their interview jointly lamenting the unlovingness of Christians who question the efficacy of masks, specifically framing it as a matter of obedience to Jesus. ‘Wearing a mask is the great commandment: love your neighbor as yourself,’ the best-selling author of ‘The Purpose-Driven Life’ declared, before going on to specifically argue that religious leaders have an obligation to convince religious people to accept the government’s narratives about Covid.”
It was clear to me that many among the church leaders I once listened to were actually milquetoast, wishy-washy men who have sullied their Christian worldviews with syncretistic beliefs from the religions of secular humanism and Wokeism.
The Church has had many examples of times where the “experts” in theology – the Christian intelligentsia – have been blind to their own syncretism, complacency, and sin, and where God has used humble people from humble origins to shame their pride and so-called wisdom.
“Never ceases to amaze me that Jesus began his church by entrusting it to a band of nobodies, featuring salt-of-the-earth men who were unlettered & untrained. He passed over the gatekeepers, elites, thought-leaders, and bureaucrats.

“Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I
To mourn, and murmur, and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honour shine!”
