The president of Harvard University and his wife just announced that they have tested positive for COVID-19. Their statement highlights the fact that no one is immune to this disease.

As I write this Daily Article Special Edition, congressional and White House officials say they expect to reach a deal today on a nearly $2 trillion measure aimed at easing the economic damage from the coronavirus epidemic.  

Negotiators are laboring in the shadow of what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell calls “the most serious threat to Americans’ health in over a century and quite likely the greatest risk to America’s jobs and prosperity that we’ve seen since the Great Depression.” 

We are facing an unprecedented challenge, at least in my lifetime. We are looking, therefore, for unprecedented responses from medical experts and national leaders. 

Our fear is that this bill, massive though it will be, will not be enough. 

Will it sustain our economy until we can all go back to work? How long will that be? What will be the permanent consequences of this crisis? What will “normal” look like, assuming we return to it? 

If you’re afraid that all our resources are not enough to meet the challenges of our day, I have some good news for you.

THE DAILY ARTICLE FOR MARCH 24, 2020

The pandemic has forced the postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics and is changing our world in so many ways. However, today's podcast looks at one way the virus cannot change our lives and invites us to share the only hope we have and the only hope we need.

Neil Diamond recorded “Sweet Caroline” in 1969. The song sold more than one million singles and has been digitally downloaded more than two million times. It was selected by the Library of Congress in 2019 for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

However, the song has never been as appropriate or encouraging as it is today. Diamond rerecorded the song from his home and released it on Twitter, changing the lyrics to say, “Hands . . . washing hands . . . reaching out . . . don’t touch me, I won’t touch you!”

As I have written often in recent weeks, the coronavirus pandemic is a crisis unprecedented in my lifetime. It therefore represents an unprecedented opportunity for God’s people to advance his kingdom in our broken world. 

Let’s consider some ways our secular culture is serving others that Christians could adapt in these critical days. 

NOTE: Dr. Denison will publish a special edition Daily Article podcast episode each weekday afternoon as we look at a breaking news story in the context of biblical encouragements to “fear not.” In these days, it is vital that we fight fear with faith. The Denison Forum prays these Special Editions will be a source of biblical hope for you.
