South Korean Pastor Son Hyun-bo disappeared into a police station on September 8th and hasn’t been seen since. His only crime was speaking truth to power and defending his faith. The communist-style government there arrested him for interviewing political candidates and supporting conservative values during church services.
This is what happens when leftist governments attack Christianity. Pastor Son led his church to defy COVID lockdowns that tried to silence worship. He organized massive rallies against laws that would make preaching against homosexuality a crime. Now they want to destroy him for it.
The pastor’s own family learned about his arrest from news reports. They can’t even talk to him or visit him in jail. This violates basic human rights that even criminals get in civilized countries.
Government officials claim Pastor Son might run away or destroy evidence. That’s complete nonsense for a man who served the same church for over 30 years. This is clearly political payback against a Christian leader who stood up to their agenda.
Pastor Son warned that his imprisonment would prove Korea is no longer free. Those words are coming true before our eyes. The government is sending a message to all Christians to shut up and obey.
Conservative politicians in South Korea are finally speaking out. People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk called this religious oppression and an attack on all people of faith. Even they can see what’s really happening here.
American Christians need to pay attention to this story. What’s happening in South Korea could happen here if we let the left take control. They want to silence pastors and churches that don’t bow to their woke ideology.
Pastor Son’s case shows us the real face of progressive politics. They talk about tolerance and human rights, but they’ll jail pastors who preach traditional Christian values. We must stand with religious freedom fighters like Pastor Son before it’s too late.
