Should Christians Vaccinate?

This year’s coronavirus pandemic has stirred up debates within the body of Christ regarding churches meeting in person and the moral aspects of wearing masks. Another issue that has come up is vaccinations. Some Christians have talked of getting one for COVID-19 when that becomes available. Others like myself balk at the idea. The financial elite are using this “plandemic” to push a socialist agenda and reduce the world’s population. (For more information on this, I recommend reading “The Phantom Virus” by Rodney Howard-Browne and Paul L. Williams.)

The medical practice of vaccinating has been around for just over two centuries. People in the Bible lived long lives without them. Nevertheless, there are vaccinations necessary in today’s society. I received a few as a boy before starting school. I also recall getting shots in 1985 while being inducted into the U. S. Army. Vaccinations are required to enter selected countries. If I were to go to India, for example, I would need to make sure I’m inoculated for hepatitis A, tetanus, and typhoid.


Many will argue diseases like polio and measles have been contained through vaccinations. However, there are reports of vaccines connected with the spread of autism. A close friend of mine who worked twenty years as a special education teacher can verify this. Recently, a worship leader I know posted a Facebook comment about his intent on getting a COVID-19 vaccine. One woman replied by pointing out her two-year-old niece “was killed by vacs - made me research and was horrified.”


Every winter, I see advertisements for flu shots. That reminds me of a story told by Kenneth Copeland. One time when his children were young, Kenneth gathered his family in the living room and announced it was time to take their flu shots. The kids had concerned looks on their faces until their father clarified to get their Bibles out. They “injected” themselves with healing Scriptures.


God has equipped us with something else to fight off sickness. It’s called an immune system. Our personal decisions can strengthen or weaken it. The few times I’ve gotten sick as a Christian has mostly been the result of eating much junk food. Amish people undergo immunization at a lower rate than the general public but experience lower levels of diseases because of healthier diets. Proper hygiene also stops the spread of germs.


Whether or not you receive vaccinations is between you and the Lord. Christian doctors like Don Colbert approve of some but advise against others that contain harmful substances like mercury. Some vaccines use fetal tissues from abortions. I encourage those of you uneasy about taking a particular vaccination to follow your conscience. Ultimately, Jesus is our healer.


“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful” - Colossians 3:15

Toking the Ghost Revisited

Image
Back in February 2007, a fellow missionary I was traveling with started talking about “smoking the weed from heaven.”   He would pretend to have a joint of marijuana between his fingers and have “smoke breaks with Jesus.”   He also encouraged other believers to take “hits.”   I was a bit uncomfortable with this idea but didn't contest it. Then in October of that year, I heard John Crowder preach on “toking the Ghost” at a church in my hometown of Fargo, North Dakota.   I was inspired to make a video with John to share with my missionary friend.   During the filming, I experienced much laughter. I decided to make the video public figuring other people might enjoy it also. Two weeks later at a church in Minnesota, I heard Benjamin Dunn share testimonies of people getting healed from “toking the Ghost.”   This was just before he and John Crowder started ministering together.   I believed this was God confirming His word in the mouth of ...

The Gospel Soul Winning Script

Image
During my early days with evangelism, I developed an approach called the Survey Technique . By asking short direct questions, you can maintain control of the conversation and find out quickly what a person’s spiritual beliefs are. Although the Survey Technique has helped me lead thousands to the Lord, I’m still open to utilizing new methods in reaching people with the gospel. Rodney Howard-Browne 's ministry uses a tool called the Gospel Soul-Winning Script , which originated during their Good News New York campaign in 1999. I became familiar with it a few years later during evangelism outreaches with Rodney’s church in Tampa, Florida. At first, I resisted using the script. I found it restrictive and thought sinners wouldn’t be receptive to me reading the whole thing to them. Then while taking part in a 2009 outreach with Rodney’s ministry in Washington, D.C., my team leader asked me to “stick with the script.” Wanting to maintain unity, I complied with his request. Initially it fe...

A Tribute to Al Best

Image
October is Pastor Appreciation Month. This tribute is for one who went home to be with the Lord last Sunday. Al Best oversaw Light in Anoka Church in a northern suburb of Minneapolis. Originally from Florida, Al first gave his life to the Lord at 17 but then backslid. Meanwhile, he served 21 years in the Navy and worked various jobs. That included selling Rainbow vacuum cleaners. I would eventually get to know his sales manager. Eric Gonyon became an associate pastor at Rodney Howard-Browne ’s church (I usually attend services there when in Tampa).  A few years after recommitting his life to the Lord, Al became a pastor. In 2007, the Lord directed him to head north to Minnesota, where his wife Jean is from. First, they ministered in the small town of Dassel. What started as a youth mission transitioned into regular services for all ages. Then in 2016, Al and Jean moved to Anoka to take on a church originally called New Day Fellowship. To counter the city’s motto as the “Hallowee...
