Dangerous Church Food

We are living in a time in which some of the powers that exist would call this dangerous church food. They say that it is dangerous because there could possibly be someone here with a virus that could spread from one person to another and make us all sick.

Furthermore, this virus could spread from this place and make our community sick. Therefore, if we are to love our neighbor, then we should abstain from such food.

The powers are correct. This is dangerous church food. It is dangerous to principalities and powers. It is dangerous to fear. It is dangerous to unbelief. And where these powers of darkness loom, where there is such fear, where there is creeping unbelief, this food and drink and the Holy Spirit of God that flows through it, spreads the light of Jesus. It sheds light on the darkness. It banishes fear. It gives a sturdy resolve to the weak.

There is no doubt that this is, indeed, dangerous food. And just the sort of dangerous food that is necessary for soldiers engaged in a battle, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

So, eat and drink in faith and become dangerous to the world and the flesh and the devil. For Jesus, who died, rose again and is seated at the right hand of the Father until all these enemies are subdued beneath His feet. Amen.
