However, I am reminded that church is both a local and global PEOPLE of redeemed souls. Meaning, you never have to go where you already are. The church is not a building where ministry happens. We are called to be the church wherever we are!
Today I had a conversation with two very good friends who are doing ministry in Pekin, IL (Peter Lindell) and West Bloomington, IL (Dave Wolfe). Watch this video to see how we engage some of the following questions:
- Why is content alone not enough for making disciples? What are the dangers of being "content-heavy?"
- How do we avoid selfishness in this unique time where we are socially distant (I prefer the term physically distant)?
- How do you prepare your heart for return to in-person gatherings of worship and "doing life" with people who hold a different opinion from you on this pandemic?
Please comment at the bottom how you were encouraged, share the blog or this post if you like...
Finally, some of my readers may not know Dave Wolfe or Peter Lindell. Here are some links to stay in touch with what they are doing.

Great reminder that we are the church. The church isn't a place we visit. We carry the church with us wherever we go. Praying that those in our communities will live every day with that mindset. Even in these unusual times, we are still disciples of Jesus Christ and we still have a commission that is set before us to be His hands and feet. His arms are not shortened by any virus, nor are His legs. His word and His power are unchanging!
