Advice to Preachers in Navigating through this National Emergency
First, I urge you not to dismiss this virus as a hoax or treat it as a cold or no less dangerous as the flu. The danger of this virus is the GROWTH RATE it has and everything will seem fine until it isn’t.

If you are limited to groups of 50, spread out across your campus or split up the congregation alphabetically for smaller group meetings. My favorite is DRIVE-IN Church. Have church in the parking lot and stay in your cars. Get a .1 or .5 watt FM transmitter and remain FCC compliant.

If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. (John 13:17) For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: (James 1:23) What can we do? 1. Be an Advocate As an advocate we publicly support the causes we are fighting for. We are not afraid to fly our colors and show those around us our position on the issues. It is a choice we must make. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15) 2. Be an activist An activist acts on the behalf of their cause. An activist resists their opponents. Most importantly, an activist acts.
