Proverbi 8:12-14 Io, la saggezza, sto con l'accorgimento e ho trovato la scienza della riflessione. Il timore del SIGNORE e' odiare il male; io odio la superbia, l'arroganza, la via del male e la bocca perversa. A me appartiene il consiglio e il successo; io sono l'intelligenza, a me appartiene la forza. Testo e presentazione in studio a cura di Laura Paris. Meditazione giornaliera, serie "Apri la porta del tuo cuore". https://hopemedia.it Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-rf1hDJig0
Level Up: The Quarantine Dilemma LIVE
These are some of the questions we will be dealing with on this episode of Level Up: The Quarantine Dilemma: – Where did COVID-19 come from? Was it genetically modified? – How have pandemics increased racial profiling and prejudice? – This is the seventh coronavirus that jumped from animals to humans. How does it compare to the other 6? – Some countries didn’t go into lockdown. Are they better off now? Should we open up? – There are dozens of vaccines being worked on right now. How likely are they to work and when? – Are we going to see a second wave in the fall? What can we learn from the 1918 pandemic when it comes to waves? – Before germ theory (Louis Pasteur, 1861) were there any cases of quarantine? – What are the connections between COVID-19 and the bubonic plague? – The word “quarantine” was first used during the time of the Black Death. What does it mean and why does it matter in this pandemic? – Is there any evidence of quarantine in the Bible? – Is the government violating our religious freedom and personal liberty in this lockdown? – In a time of such chaos and concern where can we turn, where can we find peace? In today’s changing world, we need a place to go for dependable and up-to-date health information. AWR360° Health is here to provide you with trusted information that can be your first place to stop to hear weekly from medical professionals. Due to the success of the medical symposiums that just concluded, we will continue to go live every Sunday evening at 8 pm, Eastern Time, for a new one hour program entitled Level Up!

Mark your calendars and join us Sunday, May 17, 5 p.m. Pacific / 8 p.m. Eastern Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajhqWNMRLns
