Lynchburg conference draws thousands despite corona concerns
https://www.newsadvance.com/news/local/lynchburg-conference-draws-thousands-despite-corona-concerns/article_60f93675-b627-5619-b561-429381ed68c9.html
Thousands gathered for the annual Ignite Mens Impact Weekend on Saturday morning, and the parking lot was teeming with people cooking meat, manning booths and playing a few spirited games of cornhole.
The sold-out conference, hosting speakers like Tim Tebow and Marcus Luttrell, was created to help man take back their Biblical manhood. With workshops centered around topics like self-defense, hunting, motorcycles and faith, the event sold more than 5,000 tickets.
To appease some concerns, Ignite offered a livestream of plenary sessions to ticket holders, and issued a statement on its website the organization is implementing recommendations from the Virginia Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Robert Payton, of Stafford, said he was looking forward to the words, some nuggets from God.
I had already registered, Payton said. And Im not going to let the enemy keep me in the house in fear.

None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning. For the LORD will pass through the land to strike down the Egyptians. But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the LORD will pass over your home. He will not permit his death angel to enter your house and strike you down.

(182,772 posts)To close the churches where people go for comfort and spiritual strength as an act of fighting against this biological scourge seems like a surrender to Satan.
But ah! We have one quiver in our arsenal that Satan cannot thwart. It is the power of prayer!
If the coronavirus is part of Satans arsenal of evil, then we should all be confident that God will prevail in this battle. The Christian belief is that Satan has already been defeated. That Jesus by dying on the cross vanquished this peddler of pain, this maestro of misery. Those who believe need not fear death or even sickness. We need only put our hope in the One who is ultimately in charge.

However, you do get a degree and at least Evangelicals will take it seriously and not laugh at you and pass you up. You get to join the Conservative Propaganda Brayn Trust.
