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?
