Re: The virus and Be Apostolic??
When we have snow events, like blizzards, we cancel church. The rule is if school is cancelled, so it church. That way, members can watch the news to see if there is church.
Doing so saves lots of phone calls to members and eliminates confusion.
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

What happened to Be Apostolic?

Sounds like they’re busy figuring out how to wear a prayer shawl, and hit a few notes on the shofar.

I wouldn’t be too proud of that fact.

Bro, if you KNOW you can’t duplicate the apostles (or even hope to try) then there is your answer for not being Apostolic.

Sweet Jesus, I hope I don’t fall under that chariot. In that case I’m going to turn my face to the wall. Then drench it down with snot and tears.

Have you ever seen healings by your shadow?
The apostles had a specific mission to go into all the world to preach to close out the end of that world. After decades of being in church I have never come across a minister to their level, not even close Not everyone had the "the signs of an apostle " it was more than a title in a pastor's office.

Re: The virus and Be Apostolic??
No offense to anyone, but, if I can get out and go to Walmart and other places of business where people are everywhere, I don't think I should call off or not attend church services! Just my perspective. If you're sick on the other hand, PLEASE, do stay home away from others until you're well. Flu bugs and viruses of all sorts float around daily. Some will get sick and some won't. Most will get better and some will die. Prayers and love to all of you.
