“See-Saw” Faith leaves us unstable and insecure.
Matt 7:24-27 – Building on an unshakeable foundation

REPENT – METANOIA(GRK) – Meta – “Beyond” (preposition) – “Large” -(adj)
“Go beyond the mind.” or “Go into a large mind.
Mind -operates on a BINARY system (Right/Wrong – Good/Evil) of contrast and comparison (division and separation)
“Get beyond the system of the mind because the “Kingdom of Oneness” will soon arrive.” – Jesus.
Binary – “Double-mindedness” – James 1:8 – Doubleminded = Unstable

Jesus came to short circuit our mental wiring so we can be catapulted into a “Larger” way of being.
