24 hour church doors open?

Could this be the answer to the dilemma churches are facing with shut downs because of their large crowds of people?

Open the doors and let people come and go, to pray, worship, whatever. Have a minister on staff at all hours of the day when the doors are open. This way there are no large crowds. People can come and go, and keep their 6-feet distance. Perhaps old messages, services etc could be played on the screen. Just an idea.

Sounds great. Open Church meetings. People could have a chance to fellowship as well as develop a strategy to minister to people.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist. But just to inject a little bit of information. The common flu is estimated to kill between 290,000 and 650,000 people per year, globally. In the USA since 2010, between 12,000 and 61,000 deaths can be blamed on the flu. Schools are closed every year in the USA, because of the flu.

Not to diminish anyone’s sickness or loss, but Corona seems nearly warm and fuzzy by comparison, so far. I still say,

“The greatest thing to fear, is fear itself.”

Why do we see that, yet so many don’t.

I don’t know.

Is it because we’re so Spiritual?
