Lance,

 

We get tornadoes in St. Louis.  And floods.  Pretty much the same stuff in a different form. 

What does God use to discipline Canadians? Ice?

 

My God loves us enough to warn us to repent of sin before it is too late.  Doesn’t yours?

 

Also, do you believe the words in the Bible are true? 

 

Izzy

 

PS Answers would be most appreciated.

 

Psalm 9:7-8 But the LORD [Or sits as king] abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment,

And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.

Maybe God will 'send' a hurricane to St. Louis. Now, that'd get peoples attention. NOT when they occur where there's supposed to occur. 'Message'??Exactly what KIND of god(small 'g' intentional) do you serve, Linda?

BTW, I thought about this and I want to add that I still believe that God can be sending a message about a need to repent from sin (individually, or statewide, or nationwide) when He allows such devastation.  Especially when there are 3 hurricanes in 3 weeks! We should all take it to heart, and should all pray for repentance on our part and mercy on His. Izzy

Terry, You are so very right on.  I still do believe that we can pray for God’s direct intervention in His course of Nature.  Izzy

 

========================================================
At first glance, you would seem to offer a strong argument.  I have been known to come up short in the areas of love and humility, so I would, at times, be one of the sinners that God is angry with every day.  Further examination though, would show that through all this, Terry has lost nothing but some pears that the wind blew down. Our highest wind gusts were fifty mph, and the sustained wind was only about twenty-five mph.  We did not even get all the rain we were hoping for (needed five inches, got two).

God knows where to find me, and if He wants to smack me around, His aim is not that bad, so we need to examine other areas to see a possible solution to this dilemma.  My own theory is since the rain falls on the just and the unjust at the same time, The Lord has pre-programmed the elements to operate in a manner that we call "Nature".  After all, He appears to have done the same thing with the orbits of planets, with the seasons, and with the moon.  Of course, if He chooses to interrupt those patterns, He could steer a storm as easily as He caused the sun to stand still.  I am just not sure that He micro manages in every area. 

When I was lobster fishing in the keys, those storms scrubbed the reefs and bay bottoms thorougly, flushed out rivers and creeks, and generally improved conditions under the surface of our waters.  Sponges and shell fish and the fishery were given a shot in the arm.  We don't think about those things being part of God's plan.  Our nature is to think only of ourselves.
Maybe we need to think more.

Thanks for thinking about us.  We got another one on the way
His will be done,
Terry
