Back to Eden–Walks and Work

As the world loosens-up from the corona virus lock down (some states quickly and others more slowly), my thoughts return to the Garden of Eden. Maybe it’s an escape of sorts, but I think God is using this season of angst to take us back to our roots.

I know most of us view the Covid-19 pandemic more as an attack from hell than a return to paradise. But, bear with me for a moment. Tough times tend to bring us back to the basics.

The Only Thing Progressive About Progressivism is Tyranny

Satanic Bean ball and Divine Curve

Since the baseball season remains cancelled, let’s use a baseball analogy. 

As I ponder what a friend calls the Coronapocalypse, I become increasingly aware of two teams in combat and two “pitches” being thrown.

On one side, demonic forces are motivating some leaders to create fear, suffering, and a willingness to follow authoritarian rule through the global pandemic.

The difference is the demons don’t want to just hurt human beings. They want to kill them (separate them from God–John 10:10).

On the other side, I missed God’s “curve ball” until recently. He wants to use these events to save, not kill, billions.

Keep your eye on both “pitches” in the coming days.
