There are some who think we can bring in the kingdom of
heaven here on Earth by our own efforts.
Have they not been watching the T.V. news programmes? This world is in a mess and not improving one
bit. It will take the coming of Jesus in
all His power to sort things out. So pray for His coming to be soon instead of
making vain efforts to bring in the kingdom now. By all means help your neighbour and live a
kindly life where you are, but don’t expect to do what only the king of the
kingdom can do.
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...
