Thank you AJ for your article. There is a lot of positive having the technology of today but, it is a good reminder of how we all needed community to experience and embody the love of Christ in the church. And, may God’s peace be with you and your family during this difficult times.

This is precisely what we are made for. We need community with the body of Christ. This is how we nourish and strengthen ourselves to BE the body of Christ when we encounter the culture. I cannot receive what I need from a flat screen. If I am forced to stay home, by illness or disability, then the church needs to come to me. I’ll need a house call!

I am sorry for your sudden loss of a loved one. Graciously you are surrounded by your family and friends to bring peace to the process of grief. 🤗🙏🏼

Is that a statement or a question?

Macro or micro?
