We say we have mercy on front-liners during this COVID season, or that we feel bad for certain people because of this or that reason. But what does mercy really mean? From the perspective of God towards us and how we, as sinners, should view or understand the word "mercy", how are we supposed to apply this in our lives as Christians?

We have all been in situations wherein we hope for good news; we've been in very dark circumstances in our lives and hoped for some kind of solution or savior. We're in it now as a nation and as a species as COVID-19 sweeps through the globe, causing much death and sorrow to countless families. How do we face such circumstances from a spiritual point of view? How can we cope with such dire circumstances?   Scripture shows us that this is not the first time for God to send wake-up calls to peoples and nations so that we would turn from our sins and run towards His mercy. Join us as we worship God together in our homes, remembering that our gathering is still honored by God as our hearts are one in Christ.

It's another Sunday stuck in quarantine, but this should not stop us from being Christ-like, and pursuing Him during our time in isolation. If we think about it, our earthly lives are all just one season of quarantine before we are judged as "spiritually okay" or "spiritually dead" and this coming judgment is a reality that nobody can escape.   As we stay inside our homes, reflecting on the status of our health, may we also be more spiritually introspective.

This COVID-19 season is bringing into our awareness our own mortality, and in ways that cause much anxiety. It's ironic that so many people fear for the worst, and we are advised to behave as though we already have the virus, without realizing that we are all actually already taking steps closer to death each day. This is a reality that we simply refuse to face until a dire situation forces us to do so.   How are we to respond to all of our individual, inescapable deaths? We might be able to save ourselves from the virus, but how are we to escape the inevitable judgment of Christ?

As followers of Christ, we are in service to Him. The way we live life for His glory is our service to Him. Thus, all of us are called to serve. But some are uniquely gifted by God according to His grace to serve as deacons. The question now is what kind of person is God looking for? What are the qualifications?  As we continue with our foundation series, let’s study how God qualifies deacons in 1 Timothy 3:8-13.

Misunderstanding something leads to incorrect actions or reactions to what we hear or see. It can cause trouble, fight, losses or even death like a doctor who misunderstands a patient's sickness and prescribes the wrong medication.  To misunderstand the righteousness of God and His requirements will lead to wrong methods and content of our evangelism. It is crucial that the content, as well as the method of our evangelism, carries a correct understanding of who God is and how a sinner gets into a right relationship with Him.
