Hoard This Now!

First it was hand sanitizer, then it was toilet paper, then flour and yeast. Now…hair clippers. 

That’s right, sales of hair clippers have increased 166% compared the same period last year! What if you had prophetically seen the Coronavirus coming and bought all of these items ahead of time (or better yet, bought stock in their companies)? At the time you would have looked like a fool. You would have looked like Noah, building an ark under clear blue skies. But as the saying goes, “who’s laughing now?”

I had a friend some years ago who was diagnosed with cancer as a young man with a wife and small children. God was merciful to him, and through treatment spared his life. After he was cured I sat down with him for lunch and asked him, “What’s the one thing you would tell someone after what you went through?” What he said has always stuck with me.

Prepare for suffering now. Because when it comes, and it will, what you take into it will be what sustains you through it.”

The Veritas Forum Presents Coronavirus & Quarantine: Lament, Hope, and Creativity
“How can we mend a broken world? How should we seek justice? What is the good life?” The Veritas Forum helps students and faculty ask life's hardest questions. Many of the world's leading universities were founded to answer the big "why" questions. The mission of The Veritas Forum is to help them confront these questions anew. The first Veritas Forum was planned by students, faculty and chaplains at Harvard University in 1992. Since then, over 200 universities in North America and Europe have hosted over 2,000 Forums. The Veritas Forum is committed to courageous conversations. They place the historic Christian faith in dialogue with other beliefs and invite participants from all backgrounds to pursue Truth together. In their latest virtual forum they bring together Christian artists to discuss lament, hope, and creativity.
