Covid19 and demons.

Every news website I pull up from Washington Post to Ohio State starts and ends with Covid19 stories. You don't have to read too many of these to see there are other motives than just getting control of a serious world-wide health problem. The desire to save lives may have been a motivation at the beginning when little was known about transmission or treatment, but now it's about power.

This reminds me of some Christians' obsession with demons. Jesus cast out demons, and the Bible has a lot to say about demonic forces. We should accord demonic forces some respect, but not honor. Some people have an unhealthy fear and panic about demonic forces. They have given the demons more power than they actually have. They've given up their free will and their freedom in Christ.

And so it is with Covid19; too many have designated Covid19 the ruler over our government and our churches and our lives. They are willing to give up all our blessings to appease the demons.
