I said in my last post that God does not love everyone, but
I don’t know whom He loves and whom He does not, so it is my duty to treat all
as if He does love them, for surely I do not want to treat badly the ones He
loves. And so I want to tell all about the
salvation that is found in Jesus. Jesus told a story about a farmer who sowed
good seed on his land but later discovered that someone had sown weeds amongst
the wheat. His servants wanted to pull
up the weeds but as the weeds looked almost identical to the wheat the farmer
told them to leave them till the harvest, when the weeds could be pulled up and
burnt and the wheat harvested. He told them to treat the weeds and wheat the
same until harvest. So for fear of
damaging the wheat (those whom God loves) we must treat all the plants the
same. So preach the Good News wherever
you can.The most unlikely people can be loved by God.
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...
