Endorsements
"As this book notes, we are living in 'unprecedented times.' And because most Christians haven't thought through the issues impacting them during this pandemic, they are disoriented and confused. Sadly, disorientation and confusion can lead to miscalculation regarding our obligations before God. Chris Hume has provided us with a thought-provoking study that I hope will be widely read and discussed."
DR. KENNETH L. GENTRY, director of GoodBirth Ministries and author of Before Jerusalem Fell
"Are plagues, persecution, and pandemics supposed to deter the practices of public preaching, praise, and prayer? Is the public gathering of the saints of Jesus Christ optional, and does the Bible grant authority to civil magistrates to close their services? How have these issues been addressed biblically and historically? If you are wrestling with these questions, this is your book. Read it. You won't get more education on these topics in a shorter amount of time."
JOEL SAINT, pastor of Independence Reformed Bible Church
"Chris Hume skillfully presents a biblical understanding of the church gathering, laying out scriptural truth and historical examples which will greatly help churches and elders think through whether or not they should assemble during times of government-mandated shutdown and social distancing."
SCOTT MCGRADY, pastor of North Valley Baptist Church
"You really need to read this book. It was a privilege to write the foreword."
JON SPEED, co-producer of Babies Are Murdered Here
