How is everyone doing with whatever pandemic restrictions are in your area? The down time right now and the fears and uncertainty are enemies to each one of us who have struggled with purity but I believe even the mental strain of isolation can make life just as difficult.

Well, I for one can not speak for anyone else, but I can say this and ask questions.
Are you running in fear or are you walking in faith and trust in what Christ told you?
Covid-19 is no-more dangerous than getting up in the morning. The difference is that Jesus warned us about things like Cornonavirus in Matt. 24. As professing Christians we should not be walking in fear nor believing all the problems being generated by the news media. In God's word, we are commanded to test the spirits.
And the biggest fearmonger's the Government, as it has been since 9/11. What do we do? Wake-up and smell the Roses and trust God.
Keep your eye's on the sparrow and your hands out of your pants. Blessings all.

Have to agree with Teetop. Don't believe the hype and walk in faith. Jesus is our healer. He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world.
From the natural...here in the U.S. the numbers have been rigged. They are starting to get them straightened out but you don't here about the change in the number of deaths that had been reported. It's been nuts dealing with shortages and everything being closed down. However, stand in faith and stand your ground....And realize how important your vote is.

Hello @arctic68 how are you doing? I just saw this post since I'm reading through many posts. My wife is on their way to get the vaccine. We are on lockdown still in where we live. How are things over there? I agree that we are not supposed to live in fear, however, we drive the car and wear a seat belt, so I consider the mask much like that. Same for medical insurance, we have it and it's ok. The ideas of masks in churches are sad because many of churches do not wear a mask. One lady who got the corona virus at our church did not tell others and we had a cluster. I don't think God is pleased when we do that kind of Christianity. I understand we trust in God for our protections but we are not invincible. This is not fear but common sense. Where I live a lot of Americans are resistance to masks because it's not in their norm or mindset. It's sad. Well, I have a lot to say about it, but I will not drill on it.
I'll just listen to the Pastors who have more care for their sheep and wear a mask and practice social distancing. I shared a prayer request to our brothers about a Pastor who contracted COVID, and asked for prayers but I was told that I was spreading fear? are you kidding me? This is the kind of "Christianity" that I don't agree with.
My brother's wife's dad also was a pastor and passed away from COVID. It's not a joke and this is not some flu as some Christians might affirm. It had been mentioned in the news since it's dangerous. I don't know why some Christians think this is not real or fake or over hyped. I have a very different opinion on the whole matter since it's affected us through other family members. Hearing the sad stories of family crying on the news too is not "fake" news either.
Mask just help and social distance helps. I personally prayed for the vaccine and when it arrived, I thanked the Lord. I know plagues are in the end times and this is part of it. I'm not afraid but I will do what is best for my family and self.
God bless you.

Hi Amy, I believe Mask work and help but will respect your opinion and agree that we don't agree in this area. In my work, we, as government employees are all required to wear face masks, regardless of vaccine status. This is on all US military bases and also in everywhere in Japan. I also pray for the sick and believe that helps too. Thank you.
I was also told my Pastor friend India all got COVID and another brother in Uganda. All believe in prayer and the protections we are trying to do. God bless.
