It’s our 100th episode here at A Word Fitly Spoken! We thought we’d touch on the big topic that’s on everybody’s minds these days because it touches so many aspects of our lives: COVID. You’ve got questions, and in this special edition of Glad You Asked, Michelle and Amy dig into Scripture to discuss vaccines, masks, mandates and lockdowns. Be sure to leave a comment below!

Thank you, bless you and Walk Worthy!
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting on another important and emotionally charged topic. Well done ‘Unity Sisters’. Jesus remains in charge.
Thanks for your kind words and for listening!
I understand and agree that Christians should not forsake the gathering together. It is such an encouragement, and a help.
However, to disregard the rules to keep churches open… What kind of witness is that? How does that make non-Christians view us – who are supposed to be ambassadors of Christ? Already the world holds us to ridicule, should we increase that?
I understand that many see upholding rights to worship etc to be vital. But I often think that this is not Christianity. We should submit to the authorities, praying that God will guide them, and not expecting them to be consistent, or right, but knowing that the Lord is over all.
I believe Christians will be raptured before the mark of the Beast becomes an issue, so have 100% peace about that. But understand others read it differently.
Thank you so much for such an encouraging discussion on all of this surrounding Covid. Do you have any thoughts on the fetal cell lines that were used in the development of these vaccines?
Hi Michelle, thanks for your encouragement!
I really hate the idea that fetal cell lines (stem cells?) were used in the early development of this vaccine. I haven’t done a lot of research into how that happened, but I’ve heard some say that there is no continuous use of the cells. I will have to look into this more.
