The church he leads, Global Vision Bible Church, originally identified itself with the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement (IFB)-one of the most conservative groups of Christians in the nation. Locke’s beliefs are firmly rooted in Christian Fundamentalism. In 2019 he jumped to twitter to post a video of himself burning a book titled “The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American.” LCRW attended one incognito on Wednesday last week and will tell the tale later.īurning books isn’t new to Greg Locke. Recently, he organized burnings of so-called “demonic” items like the Harry Potter and Twilight children’s/young adult books from almost two decades ago. But Locke also calls for more local forms of violence. Locke’s idea of patriotism meant encouraging his followers to attend the January 6th insurrection during sermons and railing in support of Trump’s lies about election fraud. Recently Locke also put out more serious calls to join things like the Black Robe Regiment, a far-right nationalist group of pastors that advocates preaching a “patriotic view” of American politics. I’m sick of the day and age in which we live when people call good evil and evil they call good.” And I’m sorry, just because I have morals and values that does not make me a discriminatory bigot. “ Your kid could be demonized and attacked, but your doctor calls it autism.” In between threatening to kick in Dunkin Donuts employees teeth and refusing to follow his own dictates opposing divorce, Greg Locke is a pastor at Global Vision Bible Church (formerly Global Vision Baptist Church.) It takes little to find offensive comments on from him. A safe one for sure-all the people there to protect you had long guns, and when a man came out to yell “Hail Satan! Hail Satan! Hail Satan!” you and about twenty other people all chased him off. We tossed Disney, Nike, Masonic and demonic items in the fire and prayed and sang and chanted.

He immediately calls out the way other churches have been conducting spiritual warfare. The pastor lets way for more music before hopping back into preaching. A couple of years ago, you and everyone you knew trusted the local government. He denounces the Masons and Satanists who have been threatening the church, even mentioning how the fire department threatened to put out the burning display. You always love the songs that come before the sermon but whenever he gets up on stage it feels like the lord’s spirit has entered you. Pastor Locke himself seems on fire tonight, radiating energy. With some occult stuff (mostly old Disney merch) sitting in the back of your flatbed, you hop in the driver’s seat and trundle on over. Luckily though, god’s good graces have prevailed, and the downpour seems to have stopped just in time. You’ve been wondering if the bonfire is still going to happen tonight.
