Father of Love
Do we misunderstand
God’s character? What about
the stories of the Old Testa
ment? Does God possess the
qualities of anger, revenge
and murder rather than love,
peace and long-suffering?
This cognitive dissonance is
disturbing to anyone who is
trying to understand why
God is a God of love. Please
visit the websites below to
learn about the ways of God,
the Father of love.

also the high priest bears me

"Now it happened, as I jour

a great light from heaven

'Who are You, Lord?' And
He said to me, 'I am Jesus of

Soon after Jesus’ ascen

Jerusalem. In that day, the
Jews who followed the
teachings of Jesus were con

In John 14 : 6, Jesus told His

Living With
Uncertainty
i
“Therefore keep watch, because
you do not know on what day
your Lord will come. ”
Matthew 24:42 NIV
I f the pandemic of 2020 and 2021
taught us anything—and it
should have taught us many
things—perhaps one of the most
important lessons is that life is
uncertain. We really do not know
what tomorrow will bring, let alone
next week, next month, or next
year. This drives home the
importance of living each day to its
fullest, doing your work carefully
and conscientiously, and treating
others with kindness and respect.
Some may feel that this great
uncertainty gives us license for a
moral holiday, to not worry too
much about doing our work with
care, but this lazy attitude almost
guarantees that the quality of our
lives and work will be poor. Even
amidst the uncertainty of life it is
still possible to plan. “Eat, drink
and be merry” may be good advice
for enjoying life and maintaining a
cheerful countenance, but it is not
likely to be helpful when it comes
to career planning, planning for
retirement, or building a life. A
wise person considers the
uncertainty inherent in every
endeavor and knows that some
things are inherently more
uncertain than others (your chance
of winning the grand prize in most
lotteries is less than one in a
billion, while your chance of
making money by carefully
investing in the stock market is
considerably better than that). It is
a mark of maturity to not expect or
demand more certainty than each
situation allows. Embrace the
uncertainty with hope and a sense
that life is an adventure.
