Albert Mohler: When Politics Cross the Sanctuary Line

View descriptionShare

Don Lemon—the former CNN host—has been arrested over the recent invasion of Cities Church in St Paul Minnesota. There are massive religious liberty and constitutional issues at stake.

What we witnessed was a political mob invading an evangelical church at worship. It was grotesquely and morally wrong. It was also illegal. There is no constitutional right to go into a place of worship and interrupt it for political protest. Period.

And what about Don Lemon? He was central to the story from the beginning.

His own comments indicate that he was egging the entire process on. He went with the invading group into the church and became part of the interruption.

My main concern is with the integrity of Christian worship. For the court, Constitutional issues will be paramount.

What’s at stake here is the freedom of a gospel congregation to worship according to its own convictions and to declare the gospel without fear of interference.

I think we all understand – those are huge non-negotiable issues.
