It is not just the disaffected youth who need to repent and turn to God, it is those of us who have made gaining money the aim of our life. We have shown that to be the important thing in our lives and so the youth have wanted it too and when they could not earn it, they have stolen it. There are many comfortably off christians in our country who are setting a bad example. We have put money first instead of following God. We demonstrate by our lives that having comfort is more important to us than following God. Christians everywhere, we are the ones who need to repent. If we truly do, revival can follow, but it will not be a comfortable road, but a worthwhile one. I hope and pray I have the sense to take my own advice.Let's welcome God to the centre of a lives, not just the fringes.
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...
