Economic Downturn, Mature upturn

• Tweet

How can we separate the ways of this world to the ways of a mature christian? What happens to us when we try to do things on our own without the guidance of the Holy One?  What happens when we put confidence in man and not God, the Father?  I wonder how history will view the current econcomic "downturn" that we are in.  Will history blame the Republicans, the Democrats, or both.  Will they 
blame Wall Street?  Will the World, as we know it, continue to exist like is has in the past.  Is this the great push toward one United World and one World Bank were all currencies come together.  Could things possibly get any worse.  Will World Leaders be in such despair that the people of this Earth will look for anyone who promises a clear and precise way out? What can we do as Legacy Dads to find the right path is this dire strait that our world is in?  Where can we seek guidance and understanding that will be wisdom and discernment from above?  1 Corinthians 1:²⁷But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.  1 Corinthians 3:¹⁸Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. Hebrews 5: ¹¹We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. ¹²In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! ¹³Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. ¹⁴But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Hebrews 6: ¹Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,^[a] and of faith in God,²instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. ³And God permitting, we will do so.
