It’s Okay – God Knows

Posted on by

They say that it’s the small things….

A few weeks ago, I looked at my desk and noticed that the battery on my old S7 had expanded to the point of opening the case, making the phone unusable. I’d replaced the phone over a year earlier, so it was not an issue.

Some people would have simply disposed of the phone, but that week, I ordered a new battery (for $20) and replaced it – “just in case I might need the phone.”

That phone is the phone we now use to record our services. It has the audio jack that my newer phone does not have.

If God can provide my brain with the information it needs to prepare for something I had no idea was coming, I think he can provide all of us with what we need as we follow him.

He knows what’s coming. He knows.

The Day with Others

Posted on by

In his book, Life Together, Dietrich Bonhoeffer has a rather lengthy chapter titled, The Day with Others.

As he unfolds his thinking, it’s evident that he is teaching his readers how to be the Church – in whatever environment find themselves.

When I say, “how to be the church,” I am referring to experiencing God’s presence together — as friends, as a family, as a couple. It’s what we do Sundays, on Susquehanna Avenue, when we can.

Bonhoeffer is pretty straight forward in this area. He speaks of several practices that believers should enact together — as believers.

Some of those practices are…

  • Reading the Scriptures — with others
  • Singing the New Song — with others
  • The Fellowship at the Table — with others
  • Noonday and Evening — with others

This video speaks about some of those practices.

Had you given any thought as to how you might begin to do these things in your home during this unusual season of human history?

God might enable you to do things you’d otherwise never considered.

And such things might come with an unexpected blessing.
