As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
Jacob Blake was shot in Kenosha. Please read what his mother had to say,
“We really just need prayers. As I was riding through here, through the city, I noticed a lot of damage. That doesn’t reflect my son or my family. If Jacob knew what was going on as far as that goes, the violence and the destruction, he would be very unpleased.
“Because of that hope, this morning I made my first donation to Liberty as an alumnus. I designated my gift for the School of Divinity. It was a small donation. It’s not even a drop in the bucket for a school with the resource of LU. But I love Liberty University. I will be praying for the trustees as they begin the process of identifying the next President of Liberty University.” - SBC Voices
“Life as we know it has been radically changed, and we don’t know when (or if) things will return to normal. For many, this crisis has stolen what little hope they had and replaced it with despair. But those who are on mission—who truly know their purpose—persevere and stand firm. They endure and glorify God.” - IFWE
“Famously, there aren’t enough atoms in the universe to build a full model of what every cell is doing [in the brain]. It’s a theoretically intractable problem, you can’t even conceive of a computer large enough because there isn’t enough material in the universe to make it.” - Cranach
“Yet interruptions—even life-altering intrusions—are a normal part of the history of mankind. Floods, famines, wars, and pandemics have punctuated the lives of our predecessors. How did Christians of the past respond? How should we today?” - Rooted Thinking
“We often take our cues and form our views from whatever the news media tells us, or whatever social issues are trending at the time, or whatever our body and emotions want to do at the moment. Consider, for instance, what happened in the city of Ephesus not long before Paul wrote this letter to the church in that city.” - P&D
“…now an old idea has been revived and refined: maybe there was a ‘chemical big bang,’ and life arose spontaneously in a river, with all the major components in place all at once.” - AiG
“I can only think of three times in the entire Bible where believers were openly, civilly disobedient—twice in Daniel and once in Acts (Daniel 1, 6, and Acts 4-5). But in all three instances, they simply took a quiet (even silent) stand without going on the offense.” - Rooted Thinking
“…as Christians, we don’t want to become comfortable with idleness (1 Thess. 5:14). We want to make sure that our lives are productive and fruitful.” - TGC
“ ‘A Christian Statement on Science for Pandemic Times’ expresses concern for the ‘politicization of science in the public square when so many lives are at stake.’ Signers pledge to wear masks, get vaccinated and correct misinformation and conspiracy theories.” - RNS
