Below is a sermon by the recently arrested Polish-Canadian pastor, Artur Pawloski. It is interesting to listen to some biblical expository preaching from him, especially for those of us who have only seen him screaming at the public health commissars.
The subject is the Exodus, particularly God’s deliverance of the Israelites at the Red Sea. He highlights the passage where the people attack Moses for having taken them out of Egypt only to “die in the desert.” He draws an analogy to the psychological phenomenon of Stockholm Syndrome, in which captives sympathize with their captors. Many of the Children of Israel preferred their Egyptian slave masters to the hazards of freedom. Pawlowski argues that we see the same phenomenon among Christians who defend the public health authorities who are preventing Christians from worshiping in person.
He states that there are only a few politicians willing to stand up for freedom of worship; he names two by name, one of who is the Seventh-day Adventist MP Derek Sloan, whom we have profiled and interviewed here at Fulcrum7. This was at the 19:30 mark.
