City Demands Pastor Take Down 'Jesus' Sign in Front of Church, Gets Epic Response from Him During Sermon

Freedom-loving Americans cannot help but bemoan the mounting authoritarianism of both federal and state officials.

As we discovered during the COVID era, however, sometimes Satan infects even our neighbors with the spirit of petty tyranny.

In a clip posted Tuesday to the social media platform X, Pastor Mark Driscoll of Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, told his congregation that a local government official had asked him to remove a “Jesus Christ ’24” sign from church property — a request to which Driscoll responded with firm defiance.

You know damn well if a Mosque had a sign in front that said "Allah," the city wouldn't have the guts to demand they take it down.

A few random comments:

Trinity Church's facility is a regular church facility, not somebody's house with a sign put up and taken down on Sundays.

Mark Driscoll is a rather controversial figure, but setting that aside, being susceptible to bullying and excessive subtlety are not among his flaws.

A proper government notification would have specified the ordinance violated, in what way, and possible means of compliance (besides simple removal). The email sounds more like a Christian-hating bureaucrat trying to bully a church.

Oh Dear!! A church put up a sign about Jesus.
