Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Archangel. I hear your concerns about the vaccine, and they are the same shared by many. I saw that you mentioned the vaccine's "genetic impact." This is an important hesitation many people have, which I myself didn't fully understand. The question is whether this vaccine can have an impact on our genes, that is, whether the vaccine does or has the potential to change our DNA in anyway. I didn't know the answer myself, so I went and looked it up. The answer is a resounding NO, the mRNA technology of this vaccine could never have a "genetic impact" on those who take it, because it has no access to our genes, the information encoded within our DNA. This is for 2 distinct reasons. 1) mRNA doesn't enter the nucleus of our cells when it does its work. The nucleus as you probably know is where our DNA is stored: the mRNA enters our cells' cytoplasm, where it does its work. 2) Even if the mRNA were to enter our nucleus, it is impossible for it to attach to or in any way alter the DNA found therein. It would be like sprinkling a handful of nuts and bolts on top of the hood of a Corvette and worry it might change it into a Corolla. As far as faith goes, I'm with you 100%. We need to trust that God's sovereignty trumps any human will or endeavors. If God wants something to be done, it will be done. However, I don't think this precludes the idea of human medicine being an agent of God's will in the world. For example, my wife and I both have different medical conditions which would have resulted in our deaths 100 years ago. Medical procedures and medication has demonstrably saved both of our lives. Christians have been leaders in medicine since the 1st century, and I believe God uses human medicine to accomplish God's purposes, much the way God used natural phenomena like storms or floods or fires or pestilence or earthquakes in the Bible to accomplish God's will. Does that mean that human medicine is always right and good? Of course not. Huge mistakes and much evil has been a part of the development of modern medicine, some of which I mention in the sermon. But King David was also an adulterer, Moses was a murderer, Abraham was a coward, and Paul was a total jerk. God can use imperfect people and institutions to accomplish God's perfect will. This all being said, I respect anyone's decision not to get the vaccine. I simply hope that those who don't get it 1) don't get sick and 2) don't pass the virus to someone else. I recently talked to someone who indicated that we shouldn't wear masks or get vaccines or do anything to stand in the way of this virus, because if anyone dies it is God's will. I suppose that is one way of understanding God's will that can be gleaned from Scripture. However, God also made humans to fill the earth and subdue it, and I'm rooting for our medical professionals, many of whom are believers, but all of whom are created in the image of God, to subdue COVID-19, and I see getting the vaccine myself as one way that I participate in that subjugation. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Peace, brother :)

@@SilverLakeCommunityChurch My Personal interactions with Doctors may bias my views. I do not trust them for many reasons. The Bible established a means of dealing with health or cleanliness issues. For example if a person had leprosy it established a means of dealing with that individual that had it, it did not establish a wide sweeping means of locking down everyone on account of the few. More over the fact that viruses are being Patented by Companies and that their exists a history with using the population for experiments without their knowledge or consent even by this Government. When these companies have huge economic motivations for creating Viruses and Vaccines. When Media is used to spread fear to get people to react in fear and all attempts to expose or disprove their fear based reports are blocked by phoney or subjective "Fact Checkers" used only to silence exposer. When it is systems of Government fails to acknowledge God as having complete Sovereignty and authority in the establishment of Laws or what is Right or Wrong. Just in the same manner with which King Saul also failed to execute the will of God. Inciting disobedience to Gods will because man thinks he knows better than God. God has said I put before you the Blessing or the Malediction and again let him who has ears Listen to what the Spirit says to the Congregations. As society pulls further and further away from its Trust and Faith in God it replaces him with their Rationalizations of so called experts and Scientists. Where were they when He formed all these things. Everyone living exists not in accordance to their own will but they fail to honor Him whose will brought them into exsistance. So they fear a virus more than they fear God they put greater faith in the vaccinations made by men more than they do in Him who made the entire Universe. How foolish we are to fear death. Death can NEVER seperate us from His Love. Let us instead fear Him with reverence and stop being consumed by the fears of the faithless. If a virus shall take this physical exsistance away I shall not fear. Into His hands I am to crush or to heal to do with as He sees fit. I am forever His. There are many things not seen or understood to many. You will know The Truth and He Shall set you Free. The Spirit reveals many things not seen with the eyes or understanding of men. There is knowledge over the things being heard and then their is a knowledge of things one knows from experiencing it, it is this knowledge of The Truth that is truly Knowing...

I appreciate praise of our music from you, Walt: The best church guitarist Youngstown ever had :)

Great to hear from you, Walt! If you're ever out here, come by :) And of course, thanks for driving my Grandma around!! Too sweet...

Great point, David. Obviously, people who put their faith in God still "die" but then are also alive in another way. I wrestled with how to communicate that quickly with my language, which is how I came up with saying "back to aliveness" instead of back to life
