Ministry Update – February 7th, 2009
by Peter DePaoli ~ February 7th, 2009. Filed under: Update.Hello all you dear Saints in the Lord,
We are looking at Mob Mentality this week at Rushing Wind
Fellowship…when a mob almost ripped apart Paul on presumption that
he was violating the Jewish law. I read a recent study that says
“activities performed in unison increase loyalty to a group….that
the brain releases more of the reward chemical dopamine, when we fall
in line with a group consensus, and that our brain scan shows “error
signal” when it realizes that we have a differing opinion than a group
scoring on a similar issue.
Now I understand why people are like lemmings in following a cause,
catching political phrase, or a movement that promised change, yet is
compromising basic freedoms to accomplish that change.
Our founding fathers pledged their lives to secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…they lived their lives for
the benefit of the next generation….I just don’t see that in our
generation…I see a mob mentality that loads on the backs of their
posterity massive debt, moral decadence,and a rush towards judgement
with a Holy God……have mercy upon us!
It is sobering to be a Christian in these days…recognizing that if
we do not stand up for Biblical World View…we will lose our
freedoms. I wish more of my colleague’s would share such with their
sheep…but when the world has strangled your witness, instead of us
being called out of this world system….who listens to your voice?
I have to believe there is a tsunami of resistance, a remnant of God’s
people, who are realizing that we have to stand up and be the
hands/feet of our savior in these days….I want to be counted on that
list, how about you?
Come join us tonight as we pray for healing, be equipped for the
Lord’s service, and form community around a common meal…
Blessings,
P&T et al
