- 89. Horn Chips Adviceas we face massive, unsettling changes. . . • He notes that in such tumultuous times we cannot predict the way ahead: “changes come that are too great to foresee, far too great to understand.” • In all ages, not only in times of great change, men and women have had to walk forward into the future with hope and trust, not knowing precisely how things would turn out.
- 90. Facing massive changes.. . Jesus of Nazareth himself had to go to his death on the cross in faith and hope and love, not knowing how, but trusting that his Father would bring light out of this darkness: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit” (Luke 23:46) http://shayecornell.myadventures.org
- 91. Horn Chips Adviceas we face massive, unsettling changes. . . • He says: “When the old ways are dead, it means that a new way is upon us. We cannot discern it yet, but it is at hand” • Take comfort in our Christian belief, that no matter what it looks like, God has done all that is needful for the salvation of the world in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
- 92. Moreover it willseem that all is lost “I think we will not see the new way,” Horn Chips states. “I think it will not become visible for seven generations. In that time the hoop of the people will seem to be broken, and the http://www.fordesigner.com/maps//9677-0.htm flowering tree will seem to be withered.”
