In a noisy speech at a Christian convention in Woodland Park on Friday, the U. S. representative said that the U. S. representative said that she was a Christian convention in Woodland Park. USA Lauren Boebert urged conservative faithful to put “God back in the middle of our country” and defeat the “enemy” she said is destroying it from within.
“God is on our side. The blood was applied,” Boebert told the Charis Bible College crowd in an hour-long address that quoted Scripture extensively. “We are going straight to victory. You are all more than conquerors by God, by Christ who strengthens you at every step.
Boebert and other speakers spoke at a three-day convention hosted by the Truth and Liberty Coalition, a nonprofit started by Charis founder and far-right preacher Andrew Wommack, which aims to erase barriers between faith and politics. “We see a disconnected Church in the public square because we have been conditioned to have a disconnect between the secular and the sacred,” the group’s online page says. “There isn’t. “

At an earlier political convention held in Charis in April, Wommack suggested attendees “take control of Woodland Park” and “retake Colorado” from what he called a “demon-possessed” government, The Gazette reported. His perspectives have been characterized as belonging to the Dominionist movement, which seeks to position the government under the control of the Christian Church and its interpretation of biblical law.
Although his organization rejects the label, claiming it supports “the preservation of the republic from the constitutional government of the United States,” Wommack insists on the need for Christians to regain the “Seven Mountains” of influence, a key precept of Dominionist theology.
“We are the kings. We are the ones who pass the time,” Wommack said in a speech at the convention on Thursday. “And when we don’t vote, we allow those with other values: we build their power. “that allowed this country to pass as it is.
Supporting unsubstantiated conspiracy theories alleging voter fraud, Wommack added: “If we had enough Christians to stand up and vote, we would overwhelm all their algorithms and beat their traps.
For 3 days, the speakers of the Truth and Freedom convention celebrated the Supreme Court’s rollback of the right to abortion and called for the annulment of Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 case that builds the right to same-sex marriage. They denounced a long list of evils including “awakening,” the cancellation of culture and Black Lives Matter, peppering their speeches with transphobic abuses and conspiracy theories about a “single global government. “One speaker referred to Georgia Guidestones, a difficult to understand public monument that far-right extremists said were of satanic origin and destroyed in a bombing in July.
Boebert told the crowd that the country was founded through men “fluent in the word of God,” calling for a “renaissance” that restores conservative Christian values within the government.
“We want God to return to the center of our country,” he said. “It is time for us to take a stand, stand up, take our stand in Christ, and influence this country as we have been called to do. “. “
A congressman during Silt’s first term, Boebert ousted veteran Rep. Scott Tipton at number one in the 2020 Republican Congressional District 3 and has become one of the most prominent voices on the far right of the Republican Party. He helped direct the attempts through supporters of former President Donald Trump. to nullify the effects of the 2020 election and tweeted “Today is 1776” on the morning of the Jan. 6 attack through pro-Trump protesters on the U. S. Capitol. USA
On Friday, he reserved some of his harshest words for public fitness measures that have limited church attendance because of the COVID-19 pandemic, to what he called an “attack on our faith,” and veered into apocalyptic rhetoric about the approach of the “end. “
“We know we’re in the last of the last few days,” Boebert said. “This is the time to get angry. This is the time to know that you have been called to be a part of those last days. It has a role to play in the beginning of Jesus’ second coming.
Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs also addressed the convention with a short pre-recorded video focused on U. S. dating. The U. S. Department of Homeland Security with Israel said it has a “miraculous origin based on trust in Scripture. “
Boebert was preceded on a level by far-right political commentator Eric Metaxas, a prominent Holocaust denier who is among the defendants named in a defamation lawsuit filed last year through a former Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems worker.
Metaxas has continually compared existing American conservatives to the victims of Nazi Germany, stating that “precisely what happened in Germany” “is happening here now, because of the silence of many, if not most, Christian leaders. “Echoing the theme of at the conference, he called the perception that churches deserve not to be political a “lie from the abyss of hell. “
According to the U. S. Internal Revenue Code. In the U. S. , churches are automatically 501(c)(3) organizations, a designation that prevents them from engaging in political activities. The Truth and Freedom Coalition is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, which allows it to interact in some political advocacy, as long as such activity is not its “primary purpose” and does not directly contribute to or coordinate with election candidates. Conference organizers said Boebert, who is running for re-election in November. , gave the impression at the convention “in its official capacity”.
Metaxas, however, suggested that Christian churches continue their political activism regardless of the consequences.
“If I say this candidate is the one you choose because it will help those things, and I mention Donald Trump’s call . . . the concept of Christians not being allowed to say this is crazy,” he said.
“We participate in our own silence,” continued Metaxas. De somehow said, well, I don’t need to lose my prestige 501(c)(3) – friends, older we never have 501(c)(3) prestige that would save us from speaking God’s truth.
