If you are in one of the mainstream denominations it is
helpful to be suspicious. All is not
what it seems or used to be. The
minister may speak words you think you recognise, but may in fact be using
those words to mean something other than they used to mean. If you feel uneasy about the words your
minister says and yet cannot quite put your finger on what the problem is, ask
God for His wisdom and guidance. If you believe
in the God of the Bible take heed to your suspicions. The new doctrines creeping in are insidious
and leading many astray. These are often
charming people with persuasive ways but their ways are the ways of death. If
you are in such a church run for your life before their honeyed words stick you
to their spider’s web.
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...
