It is all about the family, moving forward!
“When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the Lord, your God is with you, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”—Deuteronomy 20:1
Today, it is obvious how industries like pharmaceuticals, healthcare, governmental bodies, human resource departments, and grocery store supply chains are experiencing many permanent changes—but what about the local churches?
How will the Coronavirus change how Christians assemble? And of these changes, which of them will be shocking, disruptive, and long-lasting?
Permanent change is oftentimes an overreaction to pandemonium. Historically, this sentiment has held some truth. Unlike the Bubonic Plague of the 14th century, as well as the Great Plague of London in the 17th century, which were both localized to certain cities and countries, the Coronavirus is a global concern.
International travel and the frequency of human movement has raised the stakes. This pandemic is not only about a disease, but also about societal fear and pandemonium expressed through social media, and is media-driven with complex sociopolitical manipulations.
The Church must prepare for a new era!
