I find amusing this talk about closing down or opening up churches. Can anyone vote or move to silence God? How absurd to think so! What an impotent view of God!
Our church, as an example, has NOT been closed: it has moved on line! God has not been silenced, God continues to speak!
And the church’s mission: it too has not been silenced. No government or court in the world has the power to silence God or God’s people!
The Good News of Jesus remains good! Proclaim it in the midst of sheltering in place, in the midst of a pandemic!
We are NOT closed! Neither is the Gospel closed. Jesus and the news of Jesus remain good! Share the news!
