Christianity In Crisis After 200 Bibles Burned
During the Easter Sunday service at Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, Pastor Greg Locke passionately addressed his congregation about an alarming incident that occurred earlier that morning. Around 8 a.m., a witness observed an unidentified individual dropping off a trailer filled with Bibles near the church and subsequently setting it ablaze, an act caught on security cameras.
Locke wasted no time in expressing his shock and concern over the incident, describing it as a clear attack on Christianity in the United States. He emphasized the significance of Easter Sunday for believers and criticized President Joe Biden’s proclamation of the day as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” a move that drew criticism from conservative Christians.
Asserting that Christianity is facing unprecedented hostility, Locke urged his congregation to wake up to the reality of the situation and warned of the presence of a “beast system” that seeks to silence those who speak the truth. He shared details of the incident, including the prompt response of law enforcement and the involvement of the FBI, who are treating the burning of the Bibles as a hate crime.
Locke recounted the sequence of events leading up to the fire, highlighting the audacity of the perpetrator and the deliberate nature of the act. He expressed disbelief at the sight of approximately 200 Bibles being destroyed and questioned the motive behind such an attack.
The pastor’s remarks underscored the gravity of the situation and the need for vigilance among believers in the face of increasing hostility towards Christianity. As the investigation into the incident continues, Locke’s message serves as a rallying cry for his congregation to stand firm in their faith and remain steadfast in the face of adversity.
