What else do we deserve since we have not brought our children up to fear God? There may be grievances of one sort and another which trigger this sort of behaviour, but why should the young people know how to behave if we have not taught them there is a God who requires our respect? When we do not respect God, why should we expect our children to respect us? We have used T.V. and video games as childminders when we should have been building a relationship with our children. Now the violence they have seen on the screen is what they want in reality. Unless we turn back to God in sorrow and repentance for what we have done to our children we will continue to reap the whirlwind.
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...
