On September 25th, just two weeks ago, people across the nation watched the spectacle of members from Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho arrested by local law enforcement. Their crime? Not wearing a mask or socially distancing from a crowd of about 100 people calmly worshiping God.

This Psalm sing by the members of Christ Church was a protest against the overreach of Moscow’s mayor who extended the mask mandate and social distancing directives until January 5th, 2021- despite the fact that there hasn’t been a single death or hospitalization from the Coronavirus in the entire county where Moscow is located since the beginning of the pandemic.

While this occurrence isn’t the only instance of local and state government overreach on COVID policies that infringe on our first amendment rights, it seems believers and churches across the nation are struggling to understand what legitimate or illegitimate authority is.

Who has the right to tell people they can’t assemble and sing in public-especially when other groups are allowed to violently loot and burn private and public property? What’s behind the hypocritical behavior of governors, mayors, and political leaders whose motto is “do as I say, not as I do”.

If we were being honest, we’d have to say it’s the fast track to tyranny for our country-and it doesn’t seem like an end is in sight. On this program you'll hear from Gabriel Rench, who was an eye witness of the event in Moscow.
