VerseD: John 13:14

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
John 13:14, ESV

Love your neighbor, especially your brothers and sisters in Christ, by serving them, as Christ has done.

VerseD: 1 Chronicles 16:24

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
1 Chronicles 16:24, ESV

Whether Creation, parting seas and rivers, making food last far longer than it should, or – most importantly – saving us from our sins and raising back to life, we should want to tell everyone about our amazing God and the wonders He does!

Review – A Matter of Days – Chapter 12

To reiterate: these are not claims that Hugh Ross and others who deny a young Earth are not Christians. All of us have wrong/misguided beliefs about God, Creation, salvation, human nature, etcetera. There is a dispute about what the Bible says and what science says. Faith in the atoning work of Christ for our sins is what one must have to be saved, not believe the world is a certain age. This is a serious matter to be sure, as are several other things, but dialogue and discussion must happen. As is with this review series.

Deuteronomy 6:5, ESV

God helps us control our thoughts and emotions as we learn to walk like the Son and love on others.

This Sunday BE the Church in light of the Corona Virus

Our church is meeting (unless many people in the congregation contract COVID-19 suddenly!) My wife and I are traveling today from her brother’s (wonderful and beautiful) wedding, so we will not be there.
But Jimmy’s advice here is great, and not just because our church made the same suggestions to our little flock.
And may I suggest reading 1 Thessalonians 5, a chapter full of reminders to encourage each other.

For months now we’ve been doing “This Sunday at Church” every Sunday.  I realize that some churches today are not open though they will be live-streaming because of the Corona Virus situation.  So today’s I want to encourage you to do something different: This Sunday BE the Church in light of the Corona Virus.
