Paul makes this prayer to God on behalf of the Christians at Philippi: that their love would abound still more and more. Not that these weren’t loving people, because they were – but the love that they possessed and exhibited would overflow. Love is not biblical love unless it is…

All the stores are doing what they can to prevent the spread of the virus. Even plexiglass shields a being placed between the customer and the workers. Is it overboard? Is it working? Who knows, but I wonder why germs weren’t ever an issue in people’s minds before 2020.
