4 Ways to Have Dollars and (Common) Sense During the Coronavirus Pandemic

By: Jim Daly

Although Wall Street’s rout seems to have stabilized in recent days since the first surge of coronavirus cases, the volatility of the financial markets is nevertheless unprecedented in modern times.

Your perspective of this last month may mirror the late President Reagan’s witty observation of long ago:

“Recession is when your neighbor loses his job,” he once remarked. “Depression is when you lose yours.”

Economic experts are working feverishly to stabilize the markets. Part of the emergency relief plan involves stimulus checks for families – funds that should be received in the coming weeks. Help for small businesses is also up and running to the tune of billions of dollars.

Everyone’s financial situation is unique, of course. But what are some general principles and practical steps every family can take to immediately improve or protect their bottom lines?

#JesusChangedMyLife — Christians Share the Good News On Social Media
By: Jeff Johnston

How do believers reach out to others and invite them to hear the Good News that is normally preached at millions of churches around the world this coming Sunday?

One pastor has a simple idea. Jeremy Treat is pastor for preaching and vision at Reality LA in Los Angeles and a Council member of The Gospel Coalition. Rather than bring people to church services, he wants to take the good news to the world via social media.

Treat invites Christians to create short videos explaining how Jesus changed their lives, labeled with #JesusChangedMyLife and an invitation to join in online to their local church service.

British PM Boris Johnson in Intensive Care as Coronavirus Symptoms Worsen – What Does this Mean for Other World Leaders?
By: Brittany Raymer

Yesterday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was placed in an intensive care unit (ICU) as his coronavirus symptoms worsened. Currently, Dominic Raab, the Foreign Secretary, is “deputized” to act as necessary. Johnson is the first international leader to become infected with COVID-19 and it raises the question about what happens when a world leader is suddenly too sick to lead.

According to 10 Downing Street, the office of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Johnson was initially admitted to the hospital on Sunday evening. He has now been moved to intensive care and has received oxygen, though he is not on a ventilator.

Hypocrisy? CNN Criticizes Administration for Not Treating Coronavirus Seriously
 
By: Zachary Mettler

The news media, particularly more liberal news outlets, have repeatedly criticized the Administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. They repeatedly insinuated that the president failed to take the crisis seriously until it was too late. However, a recent study has found that these same media outlets failed to report on the COVID-19 pandemic during the time that they claim the president should have acted.

Last week, CNN’s Jim Acosta questioned President Trump and intimated that he had incorrectly downplayed the virus. “What do you say to Americans who are upset with you over the way you downplayed this crisis?” Acosta asked the President in a Rose Garden press briefing. “You said, ‘It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.’ What do you say to Americans who believe that you got this wrong?”

Pro-Life Sidewalk Counselors Arrested While Abortions Allowed to Continue
By: Bruce Hausknecht

In places like San Francisco, Calif., Milwaukee, Wisc., Greensboro, N.C. and Charlotte, N.C. a new phenomenon is appearing that highlights the constitutional dangers associated with government “stay-at-home” orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sidewalk pro-life counselors have either been arrested or threatened with arrest for showing up to pray in front of abortion clinics that have been permitted to continue their deadly business while other businesses close down.

This new and dangerous practice of shutting down First Amendment freedoms in support of abortion is an eye-opening look into the warnings that civil libertarians have been sounding of late about allowing the government to go too far in its stay-at-home and closure orders.

In San Francisco, the very first person to be cited for violating a stay-at-home order was 86-year-old Ronald Konopaski, arrested for walking on the sidewalk in front of an abortion clinic and praying.
