An Infinity of Difference PASTOR'S BLOG Have you heard about the brouhaha north of the border recently? Turns out Nissan Canada, the Japanese automaker, decided to tout the
sound-masking properties of their new, exquisite luxury model the Infiniti. The company hired the mandatorily attractive female model, placed her behind the Infiniti steering wheel, and her window rolled down. Nothing unusual so far. But the car sits on a sound stage, and surrounding the model inside her Infiniti is a youth orchestra playing their instruments. “However, the children seen in the video are in fact not playing, but miming along to a performance by an adult orchestra [off camera] who had purposely been playing the piece [Richard Strauss’ tone poem Also Sprach Zarathustra] badly”.

Offering for April 30, 2022 Pioneer Operating Budget Jeremiah 31:35 “This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and star to shine by night…the Lord Almighty is his name.” We worship with our resources in a disciplined

The daily, weekly, and monthly patterns speak loud about the Designer, Creator, and Sustainer of the universe. As believers, we define ourselves as being His image and God being our model. Therefore, those who aspire to be His clear and sharp image are indeed paying attention to these words: “But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way” (1 Cor. 14:40). Read More
