    He practiced what he preached — then he died of coronavirus.

    An evangelical pastor died of COVID-19 just weeks after proudly showing off how packed his Virginia church was — and vowing to keep preaching “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.”

    In his last known in-person service on March 22, Bishop Gerald O. Glenn got his congregation at Richmond’s New Deliverance Evangelistic Church to stand to prove how many were there despite warnings against gatherings of more than 10 people.

    “I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus. You can quote me on that,” he said, repeating it a second time to claps, saying that “people are healed” in his church.

    It is my understanding that he was a Charismatic, Apostalic signs charlatan. I may be wrong but if this is true he was just spitting in the face of God.

    Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

    Case in point:

    Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

    He may have been a heretic, and a man of poor judgment, and all that. I don't know either way. I'm not going to celebrate his death, nor wag my finger.
