They will find a way to worship and be about God\u2019s Kingdom business.<br \/>\nWe\u2019re treading on unprecedented turf. Never before has our entire nation been so rocked by a national crisis that thousands of church doors all across our great land are closing. Satan must have been smiling from horn to horn when his Corona-wile turned Corona-wild.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s not ever forget, he also beamed w\/ unrestrained exuberance on Good Friday. But then came Sunday!<br \/>\nHe\u2019s not going to win this time either.<br \/>\nOur church doors are shut \u2013 for the very practical &amp; life-saving reason to stem the tide of the Corona tsunami. But our hearts are wide open, yearning to worship together and not be in any way thwarted from pursuing God\u2019s Kingdom business.<br \/>\nWe\u2019re just going to have to be more creative on how we do what our hearts long to do. And I can assure you, that with our plan in moving forward during this indetermi-nant period of time, old dogs can learn new tricks. I just did \u2013 and you\u2019re seeing it live.<br \/>\nSo tomorrow, tune in at 10am, same chat time \u2013 same chat channel. We will worship together from the safe confines of our homes. We can\u2019t go to the sanctuary for worship, so we we\u2019re going to bring the sanctuary to us \u2013 so we can worship.<br \/>\nHow very fitting in at least two ways: 1st, the early church met in homes. I\u2019m quite certain that this temporary hiatus from our building will give us a whole new appreciation for it when we reconvene in it.<br \/>\nAnd 2nd, what is the church but its people? A building is just that \u2013 an edifice of brick and mortar that houses the True Church \u2013 us.<br \/>\nWe had no clue back in January when we unveiled our 2020 motto, just how appropriate it would soon prove to be for this occasion. \u201cBelieve in 2020 and we will perceive 20\/20.\u201d For \u201cwe walk by faith, not by sight.\u201d<br \/>\nSo see you tomorrow \u2013 \u201cLord Willing, of course,\u201d because who knows what tomorrow holds? Only He does! which is why our trust must be fully in Him and our praise ever streaming from our lips.
