Engaging Others: Called to Love

Published: March 15, 2020, 10 a.m.

Good morning Bethany family. Thank you so much for joining us; that means a lot to us. Today, we're gathering here on the internet in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. We will not gather in corporate worship at our church building in Laurel, MD. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and sound mind. In our exercise of faith, we recognize that we are also called to exercise prudence; showing care, thought toward the future, and cautiousness. This is literally the Greek understanding of what we translate as “Sound mind.” In our precautions to care for the safety of our community, while also continuing to share the word of God, we are connecting spiritually while distancing social. God has given us the ability to continue to advance the kingdom through new technologies, and for this we are grateful!
