We are told “to be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
In my opinion the video I seen when the officers came to the building to greet Bro. Spell to me was unnecessary on the Pastors part. It’s almost as if it was a publicity stunt.
The legality of this situation will more than likely go nowhere. The church should be wise and harmless.

This bold part is what I’ve been saying. I probably would advise Brother Spell to stand down. But he didn’t ask me.
There are several different aspects to this story. One is the legal, that we have discussed. I think he’s in good shape there.
Another is the spiritual. I think that is debatable. I don’t believe he is committing any sin that God won’t forgive him for.
Then there’s political. He might be able to take the governor’s job, when this is over. And I believe his church will stand with him. His church may even grow significantly. Louisiana is a different sort of place.
Otherwise, I have a high opinion of the Spells. Anybody who can sing like Brother Timothy, is bound to be right.
