Précis: God knows the end from the beginning across the broad sweep of nations and peoples. But He made human beings, whom He gave free will.

Précis: We are animated by the Breath (Spirit) of God. It is not the form of stone monuments, even religious ones, that matters. What matters is the life we have from God, moving us in this life and beyond. Live dynamically – we’re not ready for a spiritual rocking chair and blanket on our knees.

Précis: Our politicians face and deal with uncertainty, legislating with what they know. We understand their intentions, but it doesn’t always work out well. We have a glimpse into a better future.

It’s simple to live the Spirit-filled life: never leave God out of the picture. We don’t need to struggle on, dealing only with shades of grey.

Our future is sure: the arguments and opinions about politics, nations, warfare, finance etc., will be over.

Précis: The vision of God is in a completely different category than the “vision” of businesses and organisations. The prophets had it.

Moses looked forward to “would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!”. This is for you; personally, completely and directly.

Précis: We can’t solve the most important things about our lives on our own.
