Pursuing Unity During An Outbreak
The COVID-19 outbreak has drawn out many acts of generosity and goodwill. Communities are rallying. Politicians and officials are seeking the public good. Individuals are caring for their neighbors. In our church alone there are numerous accounts of self-sacrificial service. Praise God!
But there’s a downside too. A global outbreak of this magnitude exposes faultlines in relationships. We disagree over how to apply government directives. We disagree over what measures we should take to love our neighbor by slowing the spread of the virus. We disagree on which news sources are trustworthy. These disagreements make their way into the church.
Equipping You to Pursue Unity
A pastor in China has published a timely article with biblical reflections on unity and disunity in the midst of the virus. We encourage you to read and apply his insights. Doing so will bring joy to our fellowship as we preserve and display the precious unity for which Jesus died.
