It really rang true for me as one who preaches every Sunday.

Rod Dreher has been a strong critic of Doug Wilson, so it was fun to see him compliment Wilson for recent sermons relating the pandemic to God's providence. Here's Dreher summarizing:
"Here’s where I think Wilson’s sermon was radical, in a powerful and prophetic way. Toward the end, after talking about hardness of heart, he mentions that the Japanese did not surrender after seeing one of their cities (Hiroshima) vaporized. It took a second city being obliterated (Nagasaki) before they gave up. Wilson says that we Christians ought not to be praying for relief from the plague, but rather, “We should be asking God to do what it takes” to bring us to repentance."Wilson's church sermon app has been blocked by Google, thus Dreher's defense.
"Few Christian churches are led by a pastor who is as combative as Doug Wilson, but if Doug Wilson has lost his platform over this, no traditional Christian church is safe..... I read it as a clear warning to traditional Christians about how Big Tech is going to treat us in the future"Yup.

At the same time, I found this guy talks more sense than Wilson on civil disobedience, just now...
Anecdotally, I think a LOT of people are disregarding stay at home orders, wherever they can, to keep making a living...
