Not just go along in a whatever mentality.

God is not the author of the coronavirus. You've heard it b4, we find ourselves in a corruptible and finite existence.

Why this horrible thing has come upon us? Wrath, punishment, it'll show us? No. But it has. Then what does one do about it, huh?

I receive some consolation when I 'petition the Lord with prayer'. To each his or her own.

In re: TV evangelism and such--Those who claim 'Christianity' and then near pervert much doctrine and truths, may find themselves in a 'state' some day of utter 'surprise' and unexpectance.
