Abiding: An Appropriate Response to Covid-19

Covid-19 is an unprecedented world event that is unlike anything anyone now living has ever seen. 

It has interrupted life.  It has caused hardship.   And if the Surgeon General is correct, it's going to get worse.  As followers of Jesus there is much that we can and will do in the coming weeks and perhaps months to be His hands and feet, to demonstrate His love, to share the truth and hope of the Gospel.
 
But the most important thing we can do, is to abide in him.

Last week I sent an email out to a number of pastor friends asking if there were any specific ways I could be praying.  As responses came in it became increasingly apparent that these leaders were stepping into uncharted waters.  Life was getting crazy as they tried to figure out what to do about Sunday morning services, how to shepherd well despite social distancing and how to care for their own families.

And of course it's not just pastors. Everyone is struggling to make heads or tails of our current situation.  Across the globe the Coronavirus is wreaking havoc.  

And so more than ever before, as the people of God we must turn to Jesus for guidance and help, and according to Jesus in John 15, we have only two choices: 


  1. Abide in Christ and bear much fruit which brings God glory.  Or . . .
  2. Don't abide in Christ and don't bear fruit and don't bring God glory.

And so with today's article we want to share a three resources that we have found helpful to help disciples abide in Christ.

Cornerstone Reading Plan:  Any reading plan will do as long as it gets you reading the word of God.  This particular plan will have you read four chapters a day and allow you to immerse yourself in the whole story of the Bible.

S.O.A.P.S Bible Reading:  As you are reading the Bible, the S.O.A.P.S reading tool will help you to interact with the word, obey it and share with others.

Prayer Wheel:  The prayer wheel will give you a process to pray for one hour, five minutes at a time, prayerfully interacting with God in a number of ways.  This particular resource is a pdf with three bookmarks so be sure and share it with a couple of friends as well.

There are many helpful resources to help us abide in Christ.  But above any particular resource,  we must follow the example of Jesus who often withdrew to lonely places to be with the Father.  
If you found this article helpful, share it with others.
