Lack Of Public Preparation

| And what do you think about the coronavirus? | |
| What is it saying to you as a biblical person? | |
| Well, I think when we look at this book, The Great Influenza, I just want to leave today with these three thoughts because I think we're answering right now the three concerns that I see in this book. | |
| Number one, when you read this story, and I had a cousin who died in 1918 from the, you know, she was infected on a trolley car in New York City. | |
| Really? | |
| Three things. | |
| Number one was a lack of preparation, particularly public preparation. | |
| Now, preparation is two levels, accurate knowledge and right tools. | |
| Number two, there was a lack of clear communication. | |
| And number three, there was a lack of a strategic recovery plan. | |
| See? | |
| And what we're talking about on this show today is the lack of preparation as far as public preparation. | |
| We're putting knowledge today in people's hands. | |
| That's right. | |
| We're also putting tools in people's hands. | |
| Secondly, we're trying to give clear communication as to the state of things, not causing people to fear, but to be on alert. | |
| And there's a difference between panicking and being on alert. | |
| You can be on alert without panic to fear, but we need to be on high alert. | |
| This is high alert. | |
| And thirdly, most importantly, which maybe we'll talk about another show, is the lack of a strategic recovery plan. | |
| What do you do? | |
| And even as Tucker Carlson just shared, what do you do when that many are infected? | |
| And this is going to go on for a couple of years. | |
| So anyway, that's what I'm seeing. | |
| And I think the church, particularly this ministry right now, we need to be on high alert to say, let's counter those three things. | |
| And I think we're doing, I think, Jim, you're doing a great job. | |
| And this ministry is doing a great job to provide the solution that was missing in the Great Influenza. | |
| Am I wrong when I say the church should be in the middle of any problem America has? | |
| We are the hope of the world. | |
| We are the solution to the deal. | |
| We should be from a place of security and peace informing this in the middle of this tumult. | |
|
Lack of Accurate Communication

|
|
| We should be saying, here's the proper communication. | |
| Here is the right knowledge to the best we understand it. | |
| And here's some tools. | |
| Here are some tools. | |
| We're talking about putting the solution. | |
| We're talking about the meals. | |
| The silver gel. | |
| We're talking about, again, going back to this book, I looked at it again last night and then today, the lack of preparation, and that's knowledge and tools, the lack of accurate communication and a strategic recovery plan. | |
| That's what I've taken out of this. | |
| And I mean, I'm not old enough to have known that cousin, but I know that my cousin died, she was three years old, on a trolley car in New York City, people coughing and hacking all around her that were let go from a hospital, not properly treated, and she died three days later. | |
| So I think that this ministry right now, particularly everything we've mentioned today, is pointing hope and direction to those that hear what's going on. | |
| We should be on high alert. | |
