Lockdown 297

Lockdown Day 297 - 17 January 2021

One thing I realised yesterday was how churhes have changed. With no large gatherings allowed, the numbers dwindled fast. The church leaders no longer know their parish as they used to. Church goers now choose whose message they want to listen to or watch online. The saddest thing is the lost koinonia or fellowship the gatherings provided. Being the community God wants us to be is no longer possible as before. 

This changed the face of church as we knew it forever. But it did not change the Word of God. Nor did it change God. He still wants us to worship in Spirit and in Truth. His Word is still just as valid now as it has been before. The Truth remains the same. 

The question is whether the church really understands what is going on. And how they should go forward. In my opinion the mission field has now exponentially grown and more people are unsure of where they will be going when they die. People who need us to be Jesus' hands and feet for those who are in doubt and confused. There are also those who thought they had it all figured out but are now hesitant to speak up because they're supposed to be 'saved' and fear embarrassment. 

So we need to realise not everything is locked down. And most definitely not our own spirit either. We need to to get up and follow God the way He wants us to. And have joy every day! Because God's really got this. 

Enjoy this short video to remind you of all the things that are still the same:
