I was talking with some friends tonight about what it would be like here on earth without the influence of God. There would be no love between people, no helping one another. In Norway on Friday hell seemed to have broken out, but still there was the love of the young people for one another; helping each other to hide from the gunman. In situations like that good always surfaces. Hell itself will have nothing of God in it. It will not be a cosy place to spend time with your mates. There will be no mates, just enemies. Do you really want to go there? Then put your trust in Jesus and spend eternity in heaven with me and what is more important, with God, whose love justice and holiness will shine there, to the delight of all His followers.
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...
