    We all have a choice... Will we let Jesus walk on by, or will we invite Him in to stay and fellowship with us? Will we decide that hearing ABOUT the Messiah is good enough? Or do we truly desire to experience the PRESENCE of the Messiah in our lives?

    Chaos In Chaotic Times – This Is Our World Now Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022
     | 2,755 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.

    In this account, Jesus’ disciples neither totally believed nor totally disbelieved His power to rescue them. We can’t ride the fence. We must keep our eyes fixed only on Jesus before we can expect to see Him work in our life.

    Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, “To believe is to be ‘in one mind’ about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be ‘in one mind’ about rejecting it. To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be ‘in two minds’.”(1) This morning we are ...read more
