TUCSON
ARIZONA – Churches have been struggling with how to determine the number of
worshippers to allow in their buildings each Sunday while the coronavirus rages on. But the New Life Overcomers Victory Church
has come up with a novel and Biblical solution.
Pastor Joey Baker explained, “We are basing our church capacity on Matthew 18:20 – ‘Where
two or three are gathered in my name, I am there’. So, we don’t have to bother with numbers. God has given the number the
follow! We’re holding our services with just three people in attendance.”
When the NYMHM
reporter pointed out that the Matthew 18:20 verse was connected to Jesus' teaching regarding church
discipline, Pastor Baker replied, “Well, that’s your interpretation and you’re
welcome to it. Besides, Jesus was full
of love and compassion. He wouldn’t say
anything that would offend people.”
Because New
Life Overcomers Victory Church is following the three person rule, they are forced
to hold 31 services a week, beginning at 6 pm on Friday and ending at 7 pm on Sunday. Pastor Baker said, “I know that sounds like a
lot of services. But once I have the
first 13 under my belt, I hit my groove and nothing can stop me! The services from Midnight to 6 am are not
very well attended. But I have a small
cot in my office that allows me a chance to grab a whole bunch of 10 minute
naps.”
Pastor Baker
reported that New Life Overcomers Victory Church would soon be adding a
drive-by Communion Service for the membership.
Only three cars will be allowed on the campus at any one time.
NOTE - The above article is not true. I took a stab at trying to write a "Babylon Bee" type article. BTW - if you haven't heard of the Babylon Bee look for it on the web. Christian satire at its best!
