I had a friend recently ask me if we were having in person services. When I confirmed that we are meeting, but safely, he said: “I have just come from the funeral of a good friend who died because of COVID. He caught it at services from the preacher.”

Ouch! Is it not strange how fear has caused people to lose their rational thoughts & perspective?

God has called us to abound in ever increasing selfless love while discerning gathered & verifiable facts. Only then would we be able to prove what is excellent so that we can be presented pure and blameless when Christ returns and live till then to the glory and praise of our God (Phil.1:9-11).

But, yes, as a Christian I would love to expose you to something much more contagious than a virus that could bring sickness, mental illness, and possibly even death. What I offer you is Luke chapter eight’s SEED OF GOD: “The seed is the word of God” (Lk.8:11). It is my prayer that it would fall on good soil.

Friend may you, upon “hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience” (Lk.8:15).
