So before we get to today's update, I want to let you know I'm going to be gone for a couple of weeks and it's not because of the coronavirus.

I want you to know that and especially for our online church.

It's not because of the rapture, which if it were the rapture, you wouldn't be here either, right?

You better not be. I'll come back down. No, I won't.

Gonna take a couple weeks off to just be with my family. So Pastor Mack and Leight two are going to fill in for me

and looking forward to what the Lord

has put on their heart to share. What I want to talk with you today about is how that everything

we see happening in the world today is in a state of ambiguity.

And by ambiguity, I mean all that's taking place on a global scale

seems to be riddled with this uncertainty as to how it's all going to end up.

You might say the jury is out on how it's all going to play out.

And one need look no further than to the growing fears over the spread of even the origination of the coronavirus, which only creates more uncertainty.

And I know I shared this last week, but to me, it's the fear that's spreading about this coronavirus that I think is doing more damage than the virus itself.

And if you look at the numbers, the numbers bear it out. It's the fear. But as Christians, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love

and of a sound mind. So I was at Hardware, Hawaii again. I go there a lot because we have,

I'm always buying toilet parts. I don't know what that means, but so I had to get this part for

one of our toilets. And so I was so thankful to the guy

that was helping me and I wanted to move him closer to Jesus and, you know, just, you know,

said I was so blessed and how are you doing? And then after he got done helping me get the right

part, because they have like 800

different parts for one you know specific toilet again I don't want to share with you my problems

I have toilet problems but anyway so I went I went to shake his hand and and he you know like you know you know come on just
