    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022
     | 2,731 views

    The minds of politicians generally, and of public/civil servants and advisors, are so scarred by God-rejection, and humanism, and demonic influence, that they are incapable of knowing the mind of God in decency, honesty and moral effectiveness in decision making. Chaos is here.

    CHAOS IN CHAOTIC TIMES – THIS IS OUR WORLD NOW There is a hymn that I hope is still sung despite all the inferior stuff that today passes as church music, and here is the first stanza – God, whose almighty word CHAOS and darkness heard, And took their flight: Hear us, we humbly pray, And where ...read more

Michael, the great archangel, was entrusted with great authority by the Lord Jehovah. According to Jewish tradition found ...read more
