This list of reads compiled on Intervarsity’s site is a great tool with access to many different insights and perspectives on justice and connection to faith and God.

As disciples of Jesus Christ and believers in the one God of the Bible, we don’t look for justice in the same way as the world. We know that the root problem is sin. The corruption is at the heart of humans. But this doesn’t give us an excuse to ignore issues either.

The answer is the same still, God gave his one and only son to save the world from death and suffering. Let’s learn more about reaching people from every background, every culture, every skin tone. Let’s be a safe place for all peoples, and in doing so earn a podium in their life to share the best news.

This article from Barna research shows that most US adults see Evangelicals through a political lens.

U.S. Adults See Evangelicals Through a Political Lens

evangelicals

In terms of evangelism and identity, there is an effect here. People’s minds fill in a lot of gaps because they believe some of the traditions and culture that exists is from the Bible. This is what happens when the church praises God with their lips, but their hearts are far from him.

Let’s be lights in this world, salt on this earth.

It’s like playing in an intense basketball game. I get tunnel vision. Winning is all I think about. My mind does not wander one bit. In the same way, when my wife and I are intensely pursuing God’s cause and kingdom, our minds don’t wander toward sin. Soldiers stay focused when they are in battle. “No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him” (2 Timothy 2:4). It’s when we relax, when we forget we are actually on a mission, that trouble comes.

-Francis Chan, “I Would Rather Die” (Sept. 2, 2017)

Connecting online. Its different, but so necessary right now.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16)

You’ve got a light, but its harder to shine it now so that others can see it. How can we use the tool of the internet for God’s glory and mission: taking care of His people.

1 Peter 2:16 (NIV)

16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.

Colossians 3:24 (NIV)

24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Ephesians 6:6 (NIV)

6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

Douglas Jacoby short lesson: In this talk (16 mins), Douglas shares 6 components of a Christian response to Covid-19. While this particular coronavirus is certainly dangerous, and should be taken seriously, how we respond spiritually to the threat is even more important. There are things, from a biblical point of view, that are more important than surviving a pandemic.

What can the early church teach about the virus? The early church was no stranger to plagues, epidemics, and mass hysteria. In fact, according to both Christian and also non-Christian accounts, one of the main catalysts for the church’s explosive growth in its early years was how Christians navigated disease, suffering, and death.
