I've just heard a sermon by Paul Washer. He doesn't mince his words but tells the gospel as it really is. He spoke about the most terrifying thing, that God is good. As he is good he cannot tolerate our sin and it must be punished. He said that our trusting in Jesus's death on the cross is the only way for us to stand before a holy God.I would recommend that you Google Paul Washer and listen to what he has to say.
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...
