Living with Confidence in a Chaotic World by Dr. David Jeremiah
Published by Thomas Nelson
Do we live in a Chaotic world? Every day the news gets worse.
Major industries are laying off emplyees by the thousands. Manufacturing
plants are closing.
People who bought houses are defaulting on their mortgauges. Each week 7000 people loose their unemployment benefits and find themselves without work and without money to pay their bills and buy their groceries.
These are people, many of whom, have worked hard all their lives and planned to retire only to find their retirement savings disappear literally overnight.
The jobs they trusted in to bring them into retirement just diappeared in the wake of the Global Recession.
Banks have gotten their bailout money, but are reluctant to issue loans to businesses.
Terrorism is uppermost on everyone's mind after 9/11. Two wars have been fought for years with no tangible results.
The threat of terrorism is still a worldwide concern.
Where is God in all of this?
With plentiful illustrations and skill Dr. Jeremiah tells us how to be Confident in a Chaotic world. He takes the age old truths of
God's Word and applies them with skill to the situations we are facing in the world and particualy in America today.
As I read this book I asked myself, "What are you trusting in?" The Govenment, the Military, the Economy, my bank account, my job?
The answer is that all these things can and will fail. And with that failure my Trust and security fail with them.
Or am I trusting in the Eternal God who has all things under control?
The Eternal God who gave His only Son Jesus Christ to a lost and dying and indeed
Chaotic world?
God is Eternal. He has no beginning and He has no end. God has given us tremendous promises through His Written Word and through His Living Word - Jesus Christ.
God has given us His own Holy Spirit to live and dwell within us and to teach us all things.
How can we have Confidence in a Chaotic world? By trusting in the Living God and the Living Christ.
Using a Series of 10 words that begin with the letter "C" Dr. Jeremiah shows us from both the pages of today's headlines and from God's Eternal Word how to Stay Calm, Compassionate, Constructive, Challenged, Connected, Centered, Confident,Consistant,Committed and Convinced.
The main theme of this book is the same theme that has resounded for over 2000 years -
Trust in the Lord. Only in the Lord. Only in His Word. The Christian can have peace when the world around him is in Chaos. How?
Because God in still in control although Atheists are getting bold in their message that God does not exist - putting slogans on busses and billboards.
Jesus promised that He is going to prepair a place for us. In His Father's house are many mansions (or rooms as some new translations put it). And Jesus promises that if He goes to prepair a place for us - He will come back to take us to Himself.
The promise of the Return of Jesus Christ to the earth is closer today than it was yesterday.
Dr. Jeremiah asks the question - are you ready for Jesus to come back? What will you be doing when He returns.
We know that no man knows the day or the hour , so we are to be ready, and we are to be busy about the Lord's work. So that when Jesus comes back He will
find us working.
By applying the truths of God's Word to ourselves. We can be Confident in a world of Chaos. We can be busy doing the Lord's Work when Jesus returns.
Dr. Jeremiah brings up the question of what the Church is doing? Is it asleep?
How can God's People help the hurting and homeless and destitute today?
Dr. Jeremiah speaks about a few men who had all the wealth this world has to offer. They were not hurting for money or family or fame or anything that people work so hard to obtain in this world - but it was not enough and they died either by disease or by suicide.
We hear of fathers killing their families today because they lost their jobs or lost their savings. money was their god and money failed them!
What are you trusting in today? Is is total surrender to the Creator of the Universe and His Son Jesus Christ , or is it an idol this world has produced?
We are so smart in America. We don't bow down to stone or wood or silver or gold idols.
We bow down to Corporations and Financial Institutions. We bow down to government leaders. They are our saviours. But
they have all failed. Our confidence in them has been destroyed. We bow down to the technology that we have created. That technology will fail.
Everthing not of God will fail. God Himself is our Confidence in a Chaotic world.
Jesus with His promise to return is our assurance than this world will be judged and wrongs will be righted.
And only God's Word - the Bible holds the truths that we can claim and live and receive Confidence from.
The power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most awesome power ever given to mankind. It can turn a Palastinian killer into a man who loves Jews. It can transform ordinary men and women into loving, caring, giving people who know the
formula for JOY - Jesus first, Others second and Yourself last.
This is how we can be confident in a chaotic world.
I recommend you read Dr. Jeremiah's book. It contains the truth of God's Word applied to the modern world. The book is a signpost that points you in the right direction for Peace, Safety and Security even when everything around you
is failing and everyone around you turns against you.
The world will continue in its state of Chaos until Jesus returns.
In the mean time Christians can keep spreading he Gospel to a lost and dying and chaotic world.
Christians are called to be the Lights and the Salt.
Let the light of Christ shine through you and keep the meat of the world from rotting by your saltiness in Christ.
