Is God in Control? Part 2

Mt Hermon

Who Is the God of This World?

God as Creator is Lord over His creation, the heavens and the earth.

Live for God

Open your heart to God above
And don’t ever look back or be condemned.
You’re now His son, so bask in love.
Get up and move and live for Him!

I once worked on a team of four studio camera operators. Each of us had a different angle and emphasis on our subject, usually a person speaking on stage. Back in the tech room, the director had a large computer screen that showed all four camera views at once.
