Preaching Goes Viral

What is God saying through COVID-19?

Silver lining: Blessed, grateful, or upbeat about the pandemic

But we don’t need to be a special sort of sinner to be rightly deserving of sickness and death. We deserve sickness and death and even eternal punishment for the sins we commit every day. But none of us wants to hear that. As I said, we fill our lives with distractions and diversions and endless entertainment to snuff out the testimony of our conscience that we are accountable to God as our Creator, that we have rebelled against Him, that we deserve to die, and that we will die. And the Coronavirus is, in part, God shaking us out of our stupor and saying: death is certain. It is a picture, a parable, a dramatization of how heinous and horrible sin against God is. And we need these pictures, because our sin blinds us to the dreadfulness and ugliness of sin!
