Top 10 Ways we should NOT go back to “Normal” after COVID-19
by Peter Range
10. Stop Idolizing Sports.
a. De-emphasize sports for our family and culture.
9. Remember and Re-prioritize family dinner.
8. Once again build our day around prayer, rather than prayer around our day.
a. Initiate prayer daily.
b. Introduce your family to grace.
c. Intentional Sundays: Keep Holy the Sabbath.
7. No longer ignore Lazarus at the gate. Remember the poor.
6. Don’t pull in your garage. Park in your driveway and sit on your porch. Love thy neighbor. Your next-door neighbor.
5. No longer view your workplace as a job where you are employed, but rather a mission field where you’ve been deployed. Sanctify the Work Place.
a. Three W’s.
b. Sanctify your time.
c. Sanctification requires sacrifice.
4. Do not believe in a life that has no meaning. It’s time to actually Evangelize.
a. What’s the good news?
b. A few practical suggestions.
3. Forget about the separation of Church and State. Engage local and national politics.
a. Drag shows have become a norm in our society. Prepare to engage, love and offend.
2. No longer let others form your children. Parents need to reclaim the mantle of being primary educators of their children.
1. Cease to ignore the greatest holocaust the world has ever seen. Commit every fiber of our being to ending abortion in our nation.
