Updated 27th October.
Making best use of the time we may have (Ephesians 5:13-17), here are some helpful and trusted resources to help get you through.
Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel .
– Philippians 1:27 (NIV).
