Wow Geri. I also thought that my witnessing days were over. I go out twice a week to various towns & cities in the Southwest of England with a handful of gospel tracts and engage people in conversations. I am of course really saddened that my ministry is now on hold but I am encouraged by your witness to Paul and the fact that God can still use me in ways that I have not even considered yet. There is an important reason that the church is still here : 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Geri's experience has prompted me to open a separate thread about evangelising, which although at the present time seems like a bad idea due to the social restrictions, I am nevertheless going to post it now because of its relationship to end times bible prophecy and the mounting fear out there. David Interesting pattern. Appears someone or Someone is "sick" of our elections... Yep, looks like there are a few stragglers out there we need to reach before the church door closes. Can you imagine how grateful that last sheep will feel in knowing the Great Shepherd was waiting patiently for his/her repentance prayer? I can just see it now, if we have assigned seats at the banquet feast, that person might be sitting right besides Jesus as He announces this was my last wayward sheep I was waiting for. Then all the teasing and jokes begin.... :calvin Good grief ... I just got this email from the local vet‘s office: Effective March 25, 2020: We are NOT allowing anyone in the building other than staff and clients here for EUTHANASIA. :wacko: We are continuing to offer our concierge service for outpatient appointments, in patient drop off/pickup, medication pickup, and making payments (payments can also be made by phone). Please call ahead and we will make arrangements. When you arrive in the parking lot please call us and we will come out to you. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this hard time. Going back a few posts, I agree that things will go back to normal, albeit a new normal. Humans are very adaptable and this current scenario will not be the undoing of mankind. Those who went through either of the World Wars would have said the same, "nothing will ever be the same", and they were right, thought their long term thinking was not. A new normal set in. Life will go back to normal here, too, and the godless will continue being godless. The Lord allows pestilence to draw HIS people back to Him. I think Donna's post was spot on. Those who profess to be Christians have become rather loose in their walk with the Lord and He is calling them back to Him. I'm sure there are other things that will come to fruition due to this crisis, but Donna's words speak very loudly.
