My Christian faith started before kindergarten, and as I browse here and see all the complaining about church closings, I am reminded of this verse from Jesus: “ When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get.” Matt 6:5
Jesus tells us to be humble in our prayer, and to know when it becomes less about prayer and more about ego. He specifically warns against it. So why the push to congregate? Personally, I think something more insidious is going on- Sharia Blue trolls trying to get us to spread the disease to each other to kill us off. If you’re following God, and talk to Him each day, He knows that physically going to a building right now is reckless and selfish!
Not every place in the country has that much of a problem with the virus, and we shouldn't be petrified of living our lives because something bad might happen. You could die doing just about everything. Everything is a risk.
That's why we should open up business in most of the country ASAP.
If you're in NYC or New Orleans it's probably smart to stay at home though.
