S7E48: GC Talk - Is Covid-19 a Punishment from God?

In today's chat with Pastor Zach Taylor we talk about Covid-19 and the two extreme opinions we see in the world. The conservative Christian response is that we are being punished by God and Covid-19 is the sword He is using to accomplish His will. The liberal Christian response and the secular response is that God has nothing to do with it, that the coronavirus is just a mutated virus doing what viruses do. But where is the Biblical response? What have our forefathers of the faith had to say in times of natural disaster and plague? Then we address this question from one of our listeners: Is Covid-19 a sign that Christ is returning soon?
