Christians And COVID News

Our discussion topic for last night’s call was information. How should we collect and process news about the coronavirus? Which news sources are useful? How much news is too much? Can we trust God and stay informed?

We want to ensure that God’s perspective, presented to us in scripture, is the perspective we lean on most. He alone can give us faith, confidence, and hope. Beyond that, we need to exercise wisdom. Here are a few simple encouragements the pastors offered:

• Know your limits.

• Be discerning.

• Avoid foolish talk.

• Use news as a launchpad for prayer.

• If it makes you anxious, make a change.
