Covid-19

Dear beloved Brothers & Sisters in Christ:

7/10/21

Greeting in the Lord.

Covid-19 or its Delta variant (Covid-21) is not a matter of faith but a matter of science because in Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," nobody hopes for being infected with it, which can be seen by microscope, but it is a matter of science in which microbiology is the study about microorganisms including its virus. Science is generally revealed by God (see Romans 1:20). We the Christians believe that the government authority is ordained by God unless it is against God (Romans 13:1; Acts 5:29) even in the pandemic Covid-19. Part sheep are eager to serve the Lord by offline, that according to "the guidance for outdoor church services in California” documented on 7/29/20, the part sheep may have the outdoor services as of 9/15/20. However, part sheep may keep on the online services by Mobile Website (https://m.calvarychapelanaheimhills.com), Desktop Website (www.calvarychapelanaheimhills.com) or YouTube channel - Online Word For Global Crusade , because Jesus the truth matters regardless of online, offline, outdoor, or indoor services. If you have neither a computer nor a smartphone, you may use the printed manuscript. Please protect yourself from it, keep on prayer for its bereaved families, and for one another because we all Christians are one body of Christ bought with Jesus’ bloodshed. So, we had better keep the social distancing for safety, not heart distance rather than the heart unity in Christ. Nevertheless, we honor a Christian not to take a Covid-19 vaccine because God would not violate our free will because God had not forced against the free exercise of Eve and Adam to have taken the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:6), regardless of death or life in Philippians 1:21, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." And if a government authority protects individual free exercise, e.g., the 1st Amendment constitutional right in USA, it should be protected (Romans 13:1-2).

In His love always,

Wayne Kim

(1) ”My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" (James 1:2-4). Count it all joy because of nothing lacking of faith.

(2) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God” (Romans 13:1). "But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: 'We ought to obey God rather than men'" (Acts 5:29). The government authority is appointed by God unless it is against God or His word.

(3) But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God’" (Luke 4:4). We need daily not alone physical but spiritual food.

(4) “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall” (Matthew 7:24-27). Live on His word the truth or by faith, and you will not fall. We need daily not alone physical but spiritual food.

(5) "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36). Watch for your fellowship with the Lord and others, and pray for everything including the Covid-19 seeking His will in the Bible.

Truth matters, regardless of online or offline services.
