“There is food that is prohibited in the Old Testament from eating, and God had a reason for it, because they carried bacteria, they carried viruses, they carried things that your body cannot absorb.

“All these churches that are allowing themselves to come down to 250 [congregants], guess what? When you try to meet again, you ain’t gonna be able to meet again.
