A More Excellent Way Jim Dickson

The late Warren Wiersbe, noted Christian writer and former pastor of Moody Church discussed God's intervention in worldly affairs in his 1996 book Be Amazed. He wrote words that were prophetic, "God didn't have to send great battalions to Judah to bring the people to their knees. All He needed was a swarm of little insects, and they did the job. Sometimes He uses bacteria or viruses so tiny that you need a special microscope to see them." (Underlining added for emphasis) Might God be involved in worldly affairs today through the Covid-19 virus? If he is involved, the epidemic has both physical and spiritual dimensions and must be dealt with accordingly. If Covid-19 is just a "natural disaster" we must still come together as a nation to successfully deal with it. Our Founding Fathers faced disaster in the Revolutionary war, a war against tyranny for which they were ill prepared. They succeeded with the motto, "United we stand, divided we fall." We would do well to follow their model. A More Excellent Way draws on their experience to guide us in dealing with Covid-19, no matter the cause. Check out our website: merehumanity.info
