These are my thoughts and reflections, primarily from the comments and questions after the sermon on Sunday, 3/29/2020.
- Nianzu asked, "What is God's message to us at this time of the coronavirus pandemic?" My spontaneous reply was that God's message to each person is different.
- Defi said, "Feed your faith, not your fear." How true.
- Jim's reply to Michael's question about what Jacob needed to struggle with God and man was, "Though God saves us, we still need to struggle for we still have sin in us." (My paraphrase of Jim's answer.)
- Yohan's comment, which reminded me of his book Reclaiming our Political Roots, was sad yet true: "The heroes and first responders in times of crisis in the past used to be Christians, the Christian hospitals and the churches, but today it is the government."
- Whitney's comment and question was about how non-Christians might perceive a Christian's lack of fear as arrogance and bravado.
Thanks to all who participated and contributed to a lively exchange after the sermon.
