We live in a world overflowing with information and distractions, but our hearts do not belong here, but in heaven. So next time you feel the urge to lower your head to check your phone in the church, pause for a second and ask yourself: “Right now, am I connecting with God, or connecting with the latest trend?”

In times of crisis, dangers, breakdowns, or laws and orders, governments declare a state of emergency, which is a temporary suspension of normal operations to address threats and, if possible, restore normalcy. But what if God were to do the same because of what is happening in our churches today? Would we be surprised, or would we celebrate it because it is long overdue?
