The restaurant industry is being decimated by this virus. If a restaurant is unable to cover its bills by providing takeout only, it will have to close its doors. Hubbard West Palm Beach morning show co-hosts Tim & Chelsea heard from one of those restaurants earlier this week. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
–John 13:34-35
From Drf. Jim Denison at FGGAM this morning:
“A wide door for effective work has opened”
What could you and I do in these days that would be most memorable long after the pandemic is over?
Author James Clear publishes a newsletter each Thursday that I commend to you. Yesterday, he quoted Eugene Schwartz, a brilliant advertising executive, who explained how effective ads work: “Let’s get right down to the heart of the matter. The power, the force, the overwhelming urge to own that makes advertising work, comes from the market itself and not from the copy.
“Copy cannot create desire for a product. It can only take the hopes, dreams, fears, and desires that already exist in the hearts of millions of people and focus those already existing desires onto a particular product.
“This is the copywriter’s task: not to create this mass desire—but to channel and direct it.”
In these days of fear and anxiety, our greatest need is for the hope and help Jesus provides. Every person you draw closer to him is someone whose life will be changed in this life and the next. Every time you share God’s word with someone, every time you pray for someone, every time you offer an act or word of encouragement, you are making an eternal difference.
Paul told the Corinthians, “A wide door for effective work has opened for me, and there are many adversaries” (1 Corinthians 16:9). I believe he would say the same if he were with us today.
Despite our “many adversaries,” will you step through the doors God opens to your witness and ministry today?
