Please listen to yourself! Isn’t it amazing how much of our conversation is about COVID-19!

We are focusing on the outward matters during this crisis like our economy, who is essential and a hero or heroine and who isn’t essential! We talk about who is employed or who is not, we talk about the restrictions and see who is wearing a mask, how many are social distancing, who is buying too much toilet paper, or raiding the hamburgers —because we are in a mode of reaction!

Could we re-direct our thoughts for a moment? Could we look inward instead of outward as a people, as a church, as an individual?

Okay! What is God saying to us? What is He doing? Is this crisis simply natural, man-made, medical, economic, or is the God of the universe nudging us to think and pray, giving us an opportunity to listen to His voice? What is God saying to my heart? Am I just lukewarm or cold and gawking outward or do I sense a warning? Who is my real God? Do I covet the comforts of a powerful, luxurious economy? Could the changes we are seeing be a prelude to a time of greater restrictions, or sufferings, and continued rebellion against God? Have we re-thought our values, our morality, our right to life emergency, our accountability to God? What matters to us as a people? Do we like this world gone wild? Has any leader really drawn us to give attention to our souls or even mentioned the word among all the physical and medical hubbub? Do humans still have eternal souls? Is there a connection to our behavior and world events? Does God have an actual plan revealed for us and this earth?

Must we only listen to the voice of advertisements and experts or is God speaking, too? What is being said in His Holy Word or His Holy Church? Is my church holy?

Did you ever stop to think that the first commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:3) and the tenth commandment, “You shall not covet…”(Exodus 20:17) mean the same? Jesus said the Greatest Commandment was to love the LORD GOD with all of our heart, soul, and mind (Matt 22:37). So to have another god is to covet. To covet is to love something or someone else before God! Let’s look with Jesus upon our own spirit and soul to see if I really love Him or if I am coveting other people or things.
Let’s spread the good news that Jesus saves and Jesus knows what He is doing. Thank you for your prayers and gifts that send this gospel from your helping hands of partnership to the other side of the world and here at home! Jesus loves us. He calls us from the world to worship

Dan will give a personal talk about the resurrection on Saturday night from his own page, Daniel Pulliam. He will tell
about several phenomenal events surrounding our Lord's resurrection from dead in his live chat, Lord willing.

Let’s stop the panic! Stop it! Again, I say stop it!

Stop thinking so much about COVID-19. We are obviously exaggerating the neoteric claims and hysterical media prophetic consequences of our national situation. Everyone has pushed and shoved aboard the supersonic crisis, the stripping of store shelves, perpetuated by the fear of personal
suffering and death or even national doom.

How are we to live in this thunderstorm or viral catastrophe called the coronavirus pandemic?

Here in America, during the last 12 months, the CDC has estimated as many as 59,000 deaths from the flu in USA since October 1 to March 14,2020. Last year about 38,800 shiny new caskets and memorial urns were used to remember loved ones killed in car crashes. An unbelievable 800,000 souls died in the United States from heart attacks last year and another 609 thousands will die of cancer this year.

As of this writing, John Hopkins University says that 1,000 people in the United States have died from the coronavirus, So how do we conduct ourselves and manage our lives when 800,000 are dying around us from heart disease? How did we pull through the swine flu (H1N1) when 200,000 died by 2010?

As Clive S. Lewis and the holy text of Hebrews 9:27 reminds us –all live under the sentence of death and that is a certainty, not a mere chance! Buck up! A dewdrop is as much God’s will as COVID-19! We don’t have to panic when we have as our Great Shepherd the One who promises us to live forever with Him in a new body (I Cor 15:50-58 with Rev 21:6,7) and in a New City (Rev. 21:27). I am praying, preparing ministry tools, helping those I find in need, loving my wife, family and little congregation and taking a break from preaching because Pastor Andy is taking this weekend! Thanks Andy!

So, my fellow Christians, smarten up, be faithful, enthusiastic, and immersed in the Lord’s work as we are not employed or deployed in useless fretting. We have The Hope! We have a great future with Jesus! Forever! Cordially, Dan

Please be with us this evening at 6 PM for music, message, and munching on refreshments! Oh! Did you ever think it strange how large a $20.00 bill is during the offering but how small it is when you shop? If you find it difficult to read a chapter in the Bible --try Psalm 23, it is only 6 verses! You might actually want to sit in the front row at Journey Gathering because God fills the auditorium! See ya!

The newest religion is "matterism" or as Carl Sagan put it, "The cosmos is all that is, ever was, and ever will be!" Some call this assumption "materialism". The trouble is, many things we know are not made of matter --truth, beauty, justice, joy, right and wrong to name a few. Mathematician John Lennox reminds us that science is not made of matter! Science cannot study itself although some scientists claim that if science can't study it than it is not real! Wow! Is science self-refuting? Math, logic,and laws of nature are part of reality yet not made of matter! Science just does not have all the answers! To hear some true wisdom, come to our gathering this Saturday night at 6 PM😀 and you will hear some helpful stuff --not just hydrogen and sodium reacting!

Looking for you this Saturday nite at 6 PM for a great service. Remember God is not only a present help in time of trouble, but a great Help in keeping us out of trouble!

It has been a long time since posting as we are contemplating leaving FB. We still have our Saturday night service at 6 PM and you are welcome to join us for a refreshing gathering and refreshments. This Saturday our service will be a different format than usual but you will have to come to find out what we do differently! Our gathering is about worship in an intimate and practical way.
