Terrible. The shutdown occurred right in the middle of a sermon. Mayor Lightfoot should be using her police department to fight the violent crime plaguing Chicago, instead of terrorizing defenseless congregants in a church. The pastor is rightfully calling on the DOJ and President Trump for help. The American people must put a stop to this tyranny, by voting the Democrats out of office in November. There is no other choice. #Blexit! #GOP2020!
Chicago Mayor Lightfoot Sends Armed Police To Shut Down Black Baptist Church
By Godfather Politics, May 24, 2020
Story continues below advertisementPastor Lewis said Christian pastors are under attack in Chicago and they need help: “All we are seeking is the same consideration and trust that is being tendered toward the liquor stores, abortion clinics and Walmart,” he told the Todd Starnes Show.
Courtney Lewis, the pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Chicago, was in the middle of his sermon when he heard loud banging on front doors. It was the police and they were denied entry into the sanctuary according to Todd Starnes.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot had dispatched three squad cars and two unmarked cars filled with armed officers. A representative from the mayor’s office was also present.
Pastor Lewis said the intent was to shut down their Sunday services. It was “like the Soviet-style KGB,” he said.
“The only thing she hasn’t done yet is beat the doors down and arrest our members,” the pastor said.
Pastor Lewis tells the Todd Starnes Radio Show that the men of the church were instructed not to open the doors during the services — per protocol.
“Thankfully our doors were locked as a normal safety precaution we take each service to protect our members from the escalating gun violence in Chicago,” the pastor said.
A church usher, who is typically positioned outside the building during the services, saw the mayor’s goon force attempt to enter the building and began taking photographs.
Even more disturbing, an individual in an unmarked car with tinted windows was seen filming and photographing church members as they arrived to worship Jesus Christ.
“The mayor wants to educate everyone into compliance – which means intimidate,” the pastor said.
Rev. Lewis wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney John Lausch pleading for help and protection against the city’s Democrat mayor and her jackbooted thugs. More

What’s sad is many of the congregants will vote for her next election. You can’t fix stupid
Sounds like it’s time to get the guns out and remove the mayor and police chief and replace them with Americans.
“The worst thing about slavery is that the slaves eventually get to like it.”
– Aristotle
Apparently, Aristotle was from Chicago
Today it’s called the Stockholm Syndrome.
Yes, unlike tigers and wolverines, some humans make good slaves. That may be genetic, and Aristotle considered that tendency to be part of man’s make-up. Historically, most slaves have been white, but any color is prone to it.
Slavery is all about submission, and so is Stockholm syndrome, so the the two phenomena seem to be related.
Yes, and WE MUST expect tyrant culture to try to grab all the power and money whenever they can. Tyrants always tend to be dominant, paranoid, psychopathic, intelligent people who like power and money, and they must subjugate the citizenry to prevent their overthrow. So as soon as tyrant Democrats can grab more power, they do.
And that’s what we’re seeing currently.
There are 2 main kinds of tyrant governments: Power circle oligarchies, and Individual tyrants. They blend into each other, because all oligarchies need a figurehead, and all tyrants have a power circle.
And it looks like Biden is supposed to be the figurehead, with little power.
Obama was similar, he “led from behind”.
Biden is 100% certain to be replaced before the election campaign begins. He’s just a seat warmer . He has absolutely no chance against Donald and the Dems know it. Expect a high profile replacement to be parachuted in. Word is that it will be likely Michael ( sorry, “Michelle” ) Obama.
Spot on!!!!
LGBT activists ; “Perversity is our strength”.
I remember seeing a sign in front of a black church one day that really surprised me. It stated “Our Congregation Supports LQBTQ”. Then I looked closer, and there was a second sentence that stated “Let God Burn The Queers”. Then I felt relieved.
The LGBTQ horde has special privileges, protections, and rights, not available to ordinary citizens. Now, this radical lesbian wants to attack churches. The new equality, folks.
I have a lesbian relative who sincerely believes and says, with a straight and even humble face,that she should be allowed to dominate and control others. Particularly me. I was a smaller child and the chosen one to be bullied. Believe it or not, this person considers herself to be a Christian. She can say with a straight face that I am selfish to not allow myself to be bullied. And other “Christians” in my family let her get away with it all the time. Always have. You can’t even make this stuff up.
In my opinion many of these people should be put in a city or island of their own where they can only dominate and bully each other. The only way they will see who they really are is through the demeanor of their cohort. All hell would break out and some of them would truly cry out to Jesus to save them from themselves.
Sorry Movingwaters: Most of the lost will stay that way.
“Wide is the gate and narrow is the way and only a few will enter therein”.
Luke 16:31 ..”And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead”.
2 Thess. ch.2….”and I will send strong delusion, that they should beiieve the lie and not be saved, for they loved evil over righteousness”.
But we still have to pray for all men because we don’t know which ones are the “few”.
Rev. Roy………..<><
I get your point. One issue I see with this group is that they believe, and teach others, that their sin is something they are born with, like skin color. Everything else the Bible calls sin except their sin of rebellion against God’s design regarding sex, family, etc. Unfortunately for them, many “Christians” who are really Secular Humanists that believe in God give them a pass on both their erroneous beliefs and their self-centered, domineering behavior. It’s almost like they are in a cult that demands, and receives, special privileges. Not all of them are this bad, but quite a few are. Their “Christian” relatives should help them by telling them they don’t get special privileges due to the belief system they joined for the purpose of rebellion. That’s what it really is. It needs repentance same as all other sin.
You can never fix STUPID with ignorant parasitic feral animal criminal libturds!!!! And yet the voters in chicagostan will vote this POS back into office.
$100 says 99% of that congregation voted for buckwheat, and if so, they got what they voted for.
Buckwheat? Comment of the day.
…did the blacks elect this moron?
yep! They love the dirt and violence
Well, I hope Chicagoans are proud of their first black, lesbian mayor.
Why the surprise at her attitude towards Christians?
Lori Lightfoot wins landslide to become Chicago’s first black female mayor
Former head of city’s police board also becomes first openly LGBT mayor and defeated Toni Preckwinkle, seen as favorite to win

felix … we see ENOUGH filth, you sure don’t need to post it HERE! We come here to escape it, don’t bring CRAP with you to this site!!
Wake up folks a lot of these lock-down scenarios, in Democrat areas are dry-runs to show what’s going to happen to all of us if Trump is not re-elected, in November.
Chicago Threatens to Close or Destroy Churches
https://pierced-hearts.com/2020/05/23/chicago-threatens-to-close-or-destroy-churches/?fbclid=IwAR2SVKt4RbfuPgyWH5Piaoy9gTSQJa0lWlgyToQwbpODPX0xOEASGVYvLlM
History repeating. Democrats are literally Nazis
“The Priest Barracks of Dachau Concentration incarcerated clergy who had opposed the Nazi regime of Adolf Hitler. From December 1940, Berlin ordered the transfer of clerical prisoners held at other camps, and Dachau became the centre for imprisonment of clergymen.”
If you are under the delusion that the police are the good guys take a look at how easily they enforce fascist unconstitutional orders that mirror Nazi Germany.
And the rest of the pastors and churches did WHAT?
There should be 1,000 Chicago churches holding services TODAY. TOMORROW. SUNDAY.
Bring the media –
SHAME on the CHIPOLIZEI … and the ILSTAPO for “just following orders” …
I’ll give a a shiit about Chicongo when they stop reelecting the same old Bolsheviks over and over.
chico-congo
Lynch her from the nearest tree on courthouse lawn
Would it be ok if she sent it to shut down a white Baptist church, or would there even be a story then?
Why the hell are the police following these illegal orders? They should refuse! Lightfoot couldn’t do a thing about it.
she looks like NANCY PELOSI. does NANCY PELOSI have a sister?
This is instructive to all of those who believe that police (and military) will stand down when ordered to attack American citizens. The “just following orders” excuse has not changed from the days of Nazi Germany. The police will follow the orders of whomever signs their paycheck. Believing otherwise only puts you and your family at greater risk.
I have to keep reminding myself that the citizens there voted her in. Sure hope for their sake they remember this come election time. There’s a good chance she cheated her way into office, I mean, after all she is a dem.
That is why the gems are pushing so hard for mail in voting…..no accountability, and you can cheat your way to the top
They’ve already cheated themselves to the top in mexifornia. Cheating is the only way they can win anything.
Next time they need to hold the services in the plumbing department at home depot, its safe there.
Looks like some kind of serial killer.
Thank The LORD for Pastor Courtney Lewis’ willingness to stand up for the congregation and hold in-person services! Today, perhaps more than any other time in history The Church needs to stand and quit being pushed around by those (mayor Lightfoot) who would be more than happy to see Churches close their doors forever! William Barr has stated he will prosecute those governors and mayors who have overstepped their bounds. May he begin with Mayor Lightfoot!
Elect a lesbian mayor and you will get what you deserve.
Or go to Oregon and elect a Lesbian Governor and you will get what you deserve there to.
Chicago’s deadliest Memorial Day weekend since 2015.
And Mayor Lesbo McBulldyke’s priority is to keep churches closed……
if this scabrous hag is the ‘face’ of Chicago, I hope I’m not around to see its ass
Abortion, booze, and marijuana are essential. Church isn’t, if that doesn’t show us who we are dealing with nothing will…
This sounds a lot like how Communist China treats Christians. I am glad this pastor contacted Trump’s DOJ, but it has been my experience that black churches generally push the Democratic Party. Perhaps this wake up call will change their minds.
Those police had to be proud of themselves for “just following orders”. If I remember rightly, in Alexander Solzhenitsyn`s book, “Gulag Archipelago” , he mentioned a solution to this sort of nonsense and how to stop it in it`s very beginnings. It had to do with the enforcers learning they had no guarantee of surviving. I`m not advocating people start shooting cops.
I will NOT social distance.
I will NOT wear a mask.
I will NOT live in lockdown.
I will NOT live in fear.
I will NOT take ANY vaccine.
I will NOT be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.
My life is my own.
Ditto!
This is what happens when a Demoncrat globalist totalitarian is elected into office. I hope the voters of Chicago and other blue state and cities remember what the authoritarian dictators did during these troubled times come election day.
@ EVERYONE! The endless, mindless memes take away from the story! Post your opionion, then leave it there, stop with the terrible memes, they only show your inability to think for YOURSELF!!
Felix – I left you several comments in THIS story: For you as well, DR! Please go back and read them! I don’t post mindless memes, I give honest, integrity from knowledge of God’s Word.

Larry informed the Elim Romanian Evangelical Church that if they didn’t stop worshiping, she was going to tear down the church. She thinks this is inconformtiy with the “New World Order.”(, which, incidentally, now has a web site.)
Interview with unrecalcitrant Pastor, who’s fighting her all the way:
why don’t you concentrate on BLACK neighbourhoods were 9 were shot dead and 27 wounded this weekend?
Or would that be RRACCCISSSTTTTT?????
