The Coronavirus is making headlines locally and around the world. The virus is having an even greater impact on economies and supply chains and is even effecting the beautiful game in a negative way. The virus is certainly on the radar as football (soccer) governing bodies are discussing suspending league play in certain countries to avert a greater crisis. And talk of suspending the Olympic games and more show how the virus is impacting even the sports that many love.

In today’s From the Touchline episode, Rev Brad looks at what the Bible says about a Christian believers response during times like these. Building off of descriptions of the events of the last days found in the book of Revelation, a person might feel a great sense of fear or panic. But is that how Christian delivers are to live?

Scripture passages mentioned in today’s podcast include (hyperlinks take you to BibleGateway):

• Revelation 6:8
• Matthew 24:1-14
• John 16:33
• Philippians 4:4-9
