Online Church

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.   Hebrews 10:25 NKJV

ONLINE CHURCH

Online church’n, folks —
          not just sermon.
Keep’n the same time,
not place and yet
          We are the church.

Still pray’n,           prais’n,
claiming holy our sanctuaries.
Filled with peace, love, togetherness —

the fold in diasporic trust
outside fellowship, but held together
with God’s glue — tongues on fire.

The devil can stoke its logs,
cause venom pain —

but God’s vein is pumping blood
to the body of believers — saints
on the ground, weeping…

God laughs out loud, the ground is shak’n
not from mourning but from Hallelujahs
rais’n from the lips of parents,
and Amens from the mouth of babes.

We pray for each other.
We pray for our neighbors.
We pray for the healthy and sick.
We pray for the unusual circumstance.
We pray for our government local and national.
We pray for our world.
We pray for the saved.
We pray for the lost.

We praise...oh, we praise.
      God our Father hears,
in the name of Jesus,
       comforted by his Spirit.

Awesomely inspiring Kim. The Church is not brick and mortar. We are the church, the body of Christ. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. Love and hugs.

This virus had the attention of the whole world. We have had floods, tornadoes, volcanoes erupting and fires. I think the Lord is trying to get our attention. Not to say he is the cause but he allows these things. Thank you for your sweet comment and your observation. Love...Kim

It's all we can do Kim, pray. There's talk of closing churches for services and having services on line. Latest advice for those over 70 is to stay indoors for four months. Worrying times. Stay safe. Tom
