During this period of Social Distancing I hope you are staying close to God because the Bible assures us if we “Draw near to God, He will draw near to us.” Social distancing is the opposite of Spiritual distancing. Now, more than ever we need to stay close to Christ. Distance from the Lord leads to spiritual back sliding. The devil grabs the stragglers, those who are following at a distance. Do not follow at a distance. Cling to what is good (Romans 12:9). God is good.

Faith Check

As the world seems to spiral out of control may I assure you God is still in control. As we approach another month of the lockdown I thought now is a good time to check our faith. To illustrate the importance of faith there are only two times in the Bible where we read Jesus was amazed and both times was because of faith. In Luke 7:1-10 Jesus was amazed by the faith of a Centurion and in Mark 6:1-7 Jesus was rejected in his hometown and amazed by their lack of Faith. Now more than ever we need to have amazing Faith because, “without faith it is impossible to please …..

The headline of Monday’s newspaper read “Christians Mark An Easter Like No Other.” Fearful of death and disease or because churches were on lockdown most Christians spent Easter in their homes. Easter may have been out of the ordinary, but it was just like another. John 20:19 tells us the first disciples spent Easter behind locked doors fearful for their lives. They thought their church (Jesus) was locked down in the grave, but He rose, stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” This year was not the first time Christians have worshipped behind closed doors and it will not be the last. But whatever happens may the Lord’s …..

I woke up this morning dressed in my “Sunday Best” ready for Easter. As Christian’s we never take off our “Sunday Best” because, “when we are baptized with the Holy Spirit, we become clothed with Christ.” Clothed in Christ makes the man or woman. Clothed in Christ is better than our “Sunday Best,” because it is bought and paid for by the blood of Christ. “Happy Easter” Christ has risen indeed!

Keep the Faith

Ten years ago, when my world was crashing down, I read this in a daily devotional. I think it applies today. “We find ourselves in impossible situations. We see no way out and feel trapped, hemmed in, and paralyzed. The walls begin to close in, and darkness pervades because we allow our human fears to overwhelm our divine faith. Fear stifles. Faith liberates. Fear holds back. Faith moves forward. Fear terrifies. Faith comforts. Fear despairs but faith brings hope.” Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy week not Hell week so keep the Faith because Christ has risen indeed.
