It has been a rough year and a half. So many things have been happening, and so many of those things are not good. We have had a pandemic full of fear and control. We have had riots or protests. Political division. Medical division. Promoting of immoral behavior. Lack of transparency. There have been lots of changes in this covid era, even more in the post-covid world. How we work, go to the dr., shop, visit with folks, go to school, even “go to church” has dramatically changed. We did not willingly make most of those changes. And it has been difficult. For the most part, humans are adaptable, and we have accepted the changes we need to make, even if we do it reluctantly. The past year has seen the church "scattered" from our traditional routines and practices. What do we do now? Far too often the church only acts when it is required by external circumstances. We have been “scattered” away from our routine and reliance on the church building. Our traditional and comfortable ways of “doing church” have been disrupted and we have had to develop new ways of achieving eternal goals. What does God’s word have to say about the church that had been SCATTERED?
