What Christians Should and Should NOT be Doing During COVID-19

Jesus’ Love is Not a License to Sin
We are all blessed to have a Savior who will love us no matter what, and certainly we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

Though most would probably never believe this, I can honestly say that in 12 years married and 16 years together, my husband and I have never had a fight, not one. This is not to say that we have never disagreed, that we have never annoyed each other, that we have never hurt each other’s feelings…
Sorry I’m Not a Trainwreck – Learn to be Inspired by Others Rather than Intimidated
I often feel as though people would like me more if I gained a lot of weight, drank more, cursed more, screamed at my kids, cheated on my husband, and was just an all-around disaster – whatever it would take for me to not seem “perfect,” thus making me more relatable in their eyes.
