The word pandemic has recently arose when talking about the Coronavirus. Before you read this blog I want to tell you what I will be discussing and won’t be discussing. This article will focus on how we as Christians are to act during this time, not how to deal with the virus specifically. When the world seems to be panicking, should the church respond in the same way? It’s easy to say no and think that this is something that the media is blowing out of proportion. It’s also easy to react the same way the world is and think that we should stock up our shelves with toilet paper and hand sanitizer before it’s too late. So what do we do as the church?

​Finally the new year has arrived! It’s that fresh start that everyone looks to at the end of every year. I’ll do better on that diet, I’m going to read the Bible more, or we’re going to go to church more often. These and more are the goals we end up setting for ourselves for the new year.

Reading can seem like an outdated hobby to those who have embraced a world of modern technology. I mean, why read when you could just have Siri tell you the answers? Even though we have the answers at our finger tips I believe we must prioritize reading. When I talk about reading, I am not only talking about the reading of God’s Word, but also reading books written by godly men and women.

​There aren’t many things as fickle as our memories, especially in times of hardships. The Israelites in Exodus seem to be the biggest bunch of ungrateful people you could imagine. 

​I remember being taken out of school on this day 18 years ago. Fear and horror filled the United States as terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the Twin Towers. Many lives were impacted by this terrible event and many lives lost because of it. 

If we were all honest, prayer isn’t something that seems productive. We live in a world that focuses on making our lives, jobs, and technology most productive.
