Worship isn't about being in a special building or singing hymns or saying set prayers. It's about sincerity and truth and speaking to God from your spirit. Although I think coming together to worship God is important I also think that it is that individual praising each day of the week that matters most. Jesus said in spirit and in truth was more important than where. I don't want us to turn into hermits but I do want to encourage you to get alone with God on a regular basis and open yourself to Him in Jesus. We cannot grow if we are not close to our maker.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
