1. Things people trust in a) An ultimate being of love * being of love, but not in control * means a world of chaos b) Ultimate force is determining destiny * not in control * none of your decisions have meaning c) It is all about me - I can choose my own destiny * Everyone is working for themselves d) "She'll be right" * "Don't worry, be happy" * Doesn't work when we know and see bad things happening
2. God's way a) "All things work together for good ...for those who love God" b) Why doesn't this mean everything goes right for Christians?
