If you start doubting your Bible where will it end? If you don't accept God made a fish to rescue Jonah, will you be able to believe in the miracles Jesus did? Will you be able to believe in the virgin birth? Will you be able to believe in the resurrection? Will you be able to believe in the greatest miracle, that God could reconcile us to himself through the death of Jesus? Be careful what you discard from the Bible, or you could end up with a book with the pages of a birthday card. Hold on to the truth God has sent down to us through the ages. Many people in our world long to own a Bible while most people in the West ignore it or pull it apart. What fools we are.
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...
