 Good afternoon pastor. How are you doing John? As you guys see we're in a different location I want to welcome those to random moments and unfiltered with pastor David and pastor I want to speak a little bit more about the vaccine It seems that is the vaccine has been surrounding the church in quite a different a number of different ways and I came across an Article today and wanted your feedback on it where pastors are now requiring their attendees to get the vac state Vaccine in order for them to come to church and I wanted your feedback on that Well, we haven't done that I think that I've got a lot of opinions on that. I'm trying to figure one that would fit into our narrative at the moment I I still believe that I have the right to make a determination Personally as to whether or not I feel comfortable receiving a vaccine That's first thing and my wife and I would be in agreement with this kind of thing that Adults should make a make their decisions for their own body With the help of their their physician if you will and taking everything into consideration, so That's a personal choice and I don't feel that I as a pastor Have the responsibility to foist my requirements on people Based on what I think is best for their life. I'm not a scientist and therefore I have to be careful not to not to impose on people what I'm hearing and Sure is real and and true and so we haven't done that in our church We do still have a a section for those who feel comfortable using masks, of course Why is that it's because there are there are some who've been told by maybe a doctor maybe a health provider or even a husband or wife that They feel comfortable for whatever the reason may be They feel more comfortable with that person wearing a mask than not wearing a mask and I have to abide by Their own conscience. I have to abide by that. So on one level In our church, there's no requirement for you to wear a mask I haven't seen the reasonableness of that for some time I like every other American have been not so much confused by but Tired become tired by the conflicting opinions that can come out of the same mouth In the course of a week or two, you know, we have a doctor Fauci saying No, you don't need to wear masks. It's does it, you know, then you say well, it would be best to wear masks Then you hear I'm saying now you need to wear two masks and He's not the only one doing that and so from my perspective You have to just make decisions based on which you what you feel is best for yourself because You can't rely on those who've been hired by the government to To give their own propaganda. I do know that That young people are being told you need to have a mandatory Vaccination in order to attend classes and yet at the same time we're being told That the young people are not even being affected by this virus, you know, and then they're saying we want to To Vaccinate children as young as six that even younger than that and then others are saying that's harmful for their systems You know, have a have a COVID You know anti COVID vaccine and then you're getting enlargement of hearts and in people 18 19 and 20 Are being affected to some even dying and so this is a conflicting thing. So I as a pastor I'm no medical practitioner. I most certainly have no no Experience in that field. So I have to basically get as much information as I can put it together and make a decision For the best of my church. And so as a pastor, I'm not afraid I wasn't afraid before and I and my wife and I had COVID even as you and your family, you know We had it. We survived it. Thank God. I bless the Lord for it We still have lingering effects of it. My wife and I both Are still kind of like fog memory-wise because of it You know, but you know what? We're here. We're doing our ministry and all and so getting back to the main question If people come to my church, I don't think that that the preaching of the gospel of the inoculation or the vaccine is um, what I've been called to do, uh, I I say come to church, you know here in california it's it's it's borderline crazy in some ways where you have politicians who are making money Peddling fear. That's what it is I don't understand for example how you can reopen Dodger stadium with 50 60 thousand people And then well, no, you shouldn't you really shouldn't congregate in church So you can get 60,000 people into an arena But be careful when you go into a restaurant. It makes no sense You can stand in line in a an airport You have to be six feet apart and then you're placed next to a stranger shoulder to shoulder And he takes his mask off as he's eating and drinking and doesn't put it back on John, it's just it's a farce in many ways. I think people are aware of it I I have I have I'm not a sheep in that way. I'm a sheep for jesus, but I'm not a sheep for science And so even though falchie claims to be the incarnation of science itself To argue against what he says is to argue against science as if he has incarnated He's the personification of all the wise men who've ever lived That's a confusion. And so in my church, I want people to come back and want him to come home It's a safe environment. We do the best we can to To secure those who are concerned We don't We don't make people feel bad because they wear masks Um, and um They should come home. They should come to church That's that's how we're looking at it And come to church where their gospel is preached and things paddled Well, actually this sunday is Uh, we're you're starting a new book. I'm starting the gospel of mark and uh doing the first aid verses and And uh one of the things that stands out I'll say quickly because I know I'm gonna lose people that are gonna stop watching but John the Baptist he dressed in a certain way and he had a certain message And uh, so he he he personified the message he gave He was a humble man. He taught a message of humility He was a man aware of who he is Who he was and he taught a message of repentance and rightness with god and Would god more pastors would actually live out the message that that they preach We'll be looking at that this this is the message that needs to be pushed In our nation. I would think it's called the gospel You know, I I go to church not to hear about who I should vote for You know, I go to church not to hear the latest news that somebody got from some friend of a friend of a friend is a doctor um I go to church so I can know how to live for jesus christ. I think that's why you go to church or should And that's what we're trying to do in our fellowship is just teach about jesus and let people Use their own common sense and And seek God in prayer on his word Well, you guys, thank you so much for tuning in pastor.
