Hello ,
As nations across the globe reel from one crisis to another, the Collins English Dictionary
has just revealed its 2022 word of the year to be “permacrisis.” “Permacrisis” is a noun defined by the U.K.-based publisher HarperCollins as "an extended period of instability and insecurity, especially one resulting from a series of catastrophic events.”
A blog post on the Collins Dictionary website noted that the term rings true because of the war in Ukraine, climate change challenges, political instability, and the surge in inflation. He goes on to say the term embodies the "dizzying sense of lurching from one unprecedented event to another," as people wonder what new "horrors" might be around the corner.
Compare this with the amazing news that was brought to mankind a few thousand years ago:
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11
The good news is, Jesus came the first time to put the plan of salvation into motion, and to be "God with us!" Just as amazing, is the idea that He is planning to come back again, and take us to be
with Him for eternity.
When this happens, bad-news will be a thing of the past.
Have a great day and God bless!
Pastor Mike / The Open Word
