Louisana pastor Tony Spell of the Life Tabernacle Church has been making a name for himself with his controversial views during the pandemic for the last couple of weeks.
Just last week, Spell told TMZ in an interview that he was going to keep holding church services during the state’s stay-at-home order because “true Christians would not mind dying”.
The Bible teaches us to be absent from our bodies as to be present with the Lord,” . “Like any zealot or like any pure religious person, death looks to them like a welcome friend. True Christians do not mind dying. They fear living in fear.”
Now Spell is making waves again by challenging congregants to donate their $1200 stimulus checks to Evangelical churches during the health crisis.

Pastor Tony Spell’s got a plan for your stimulus check — give it away to evangelists who can’t pass the offering plate while the pandemic’s closed their churches.
The controversial leader of the Life Tabernacle Church in Louisiana has whipped up another controversial idea he calls the #PastorSpellStimulusChallenge … and it has 3 rules.
First rule is it starts this Sunday. Second rule is donate your stimulus money … and third rule is give it to North American evangelists, missionaries or music ministers who haven’t received any money from parishioners in the past month.
