Pastor persecuted by fellow pastors for speaking boldly about Jesus
by Shianee Mamanglu-Regala, Christian Today.
A German pastor is reportedly being persecuted by fellow pastors for preaching boldly about Jesus Christ and “refusing to bend a knee to political correctness.”
Pastor Olaf Latzel does his preaching at the historic St. Martini Church in Bremen, where the church’s former pastor, Joachim Neander, wrote the great hymn, “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty” in 1679, CBN New reports.
Latzel’s sermons are known to be direct and bold and would cut no corners when attacking other religions, which could sound mean to some, according to the report.
“I’m only preaching the Gospel in a clear way,” Latzel said. “I think it is my duty to do this preaching in this way for our Lord.”
He claimed that much of Germany today “is covered by profound spiritual darkness,” as are most Western nations…
…At least 70 German pastors reportedly gathered in Bremen this year to denounce Latzel behind a banner celebrating “diversity.”
The public prosecutor investigated him for hate speech and then cleared him. The Bremen parliament even passed a resolution against him, the first time a German pastor was condemned by a German parliament since World War II, said the report.
But instead of backing down, Latzel said the attacks reassure him that he is in a “war” between Christ and the devil.
