I've heard sermons in the past two weeks (from different churches) where the preacher referenced Covid cases "ramping up" again. Every time we acknowledge the media narrative we are feeding people's fears, whether or not that is the intention.
True faith in the face of fear is what needs to be preached, not tacitly giving air time to more reasons for reservation. The church needs to lead now as they did in the times of plagues of the past - be bold, be fearless, trust in God. Don't allow man's fears to prevent you from being the body of Christ to the world.

Truth without love is brutality. Love without truth is compromise.
