Brothers and sisters...

Let us turn now to the Golden Rule

I do not know if this is a real thing; it was sent to me and I’m sharing it.

A May 2020 survey from the University of Chicago Divinity School and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research said:

• 31% of Americans who believe in God feel strongly that the virus is a sign of God telling humanity to change

• About the same number of people feels “somewhat” that the virus is a sign from God

• 43% of evangelical Protestants believe “strongly” that the virus is a sign from God

What if the sign from God is that God wants us to act as if we’re a member of a great, big community? And She wants us to follow the Golden Rule?

While some white evangelical Christians are still resisting getting vaccinated and their pastors are hesitant to encourage them to get the shot, the National Association of Evangelicals, among other groups, has made a concerted effort to convince members of their various flocks to get vaccinated with projects like Christians and the Vaccine.

For what it’s worth, a survey from this month (May 2021) says people who have been reluctant to be vaccinated are changing their minds.

If you are a Christian and you’re still on the fence about the vaccination, I highly recommend this link. And then, think about your Sunday school lessons about the Golden Rule, or Matthew 7:12. If you won’t get the vaccine for yourself, get it to protect others. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
