Did you wash your hands?
Good evening, everyone! What a different day this has been! How many of you went to church, despite the fear that you might get sick and die?
As I typed that, I couldn’t help but think of all those in places like Nigeria where going to church on any given Sunday could get you killed by an AK-47 or a machete. I wonder what they think of our virus protection plans? Which do you think they would prefer, a bullet-proof vest or hand sanitizer?
Anyway, many congregations across the country and around the world decided to cancel meetings this morning. Others did what we did: we encouraged the vulnerable and sick to stay home, and we streamed the service live on Facebook.
Missions
What I found so wonderful about all this, however, is that by streaming our services to Facebook, then sharing them on other media platforms, what would have been local turned into global! Think about that for a hallelujah minute!
One can’t help but wonder if Satan was at one point dying from laughter, then the next moment throwing a demon across the room in a fit of rage. I hope so!
It’s like, “Oh, look at all those churches closing their doors over some silly little virus! We are shutting them down, now!” Then it was, “OH, MY PLACE! What are they doing now? Reaching the world with the gospel??”
The Videos
So, what I want to do for this post is offer you the opportunity to watch both our ENTIRE Sunday morning service, along with a video I did from my office this evening.
But just so you don’t miss it, there’s a lot that went on this morning in our church service. So, if you want to skip to that actual sermon I delivered on St. Patrick and missions (it’s a GOOD one!), go to the 41:30 mark.
That shirt made me look HUGE!
If you think St Patrick was Irish, or that his favorite color was green, you REALLY need to listen to this sermon 😉
God bless, and have a Christ-honoring week!
The Recovering Legalist 
My pastor today after our regular service had a town hall meeting which I was not at because I am in a nursing home recuperating. Anyhow, most people take 20 seconds to say the Lord’s prayer so if we wash our hands saying the Lord’s prayer we will remain healthy. It is a great evangelism tool.
Isn’t it strange? Just a few days ago everything was mostly normal and now here we are starring Hell on earth right in the face.
Yep. Hey, just for kicks, take a look at the last comment on my post about predators. The thread with evolutionhoax bro. I’m trying to decide if I should even bother. Would you like to take a shot?
Oh I’d love to!
I love the thought of Satan and his cohorts in a rage over their initial glee at churches being shut down having been turned around for good! Nothing and no one is greater than our Jesus. (and you’re correct about Saint Paddy – he wasn’t Irish) 😊
interesting post Anthony. provoked responsive thoughts too. well done.
Thanks 🙂
