Transforming Power Statements:
1) The world is filled with confusion to the point that it can be hard to choose many things in life; especially when the way many think in the world has become more man-centered and less God centered in our culture.
2) One amazing fact about God is that He never changes and has always been perfect and wants everyone to become able to rely on His stability even when all else is subject to change, so that the ones who believe in Him can dwell in peace regardless to what things are going on around them.
3) Living under the instructions of God via His Son Jesus the Christ, as one of His disciples, is the way of peace and also brings repair to everyone who trusts in Jesus and believe that God has raised Him from the dead, which is truly the only hiding place for shelter in a lost and dying world.
