Is God Trying to Tell Us Something?

Only a few days out from the deadly tsunamis that struck several nations in south asia, government and private agencies are still working at getting their resources into high gear. The damage, destruction, and death are of such magnitude that it will take years, not months, to recover from the devastation.

A couple of websites contain videos of the tsunamis striking in several places. Here they are, I invite you to visit them and see for yourself how chilling and frightening this was.

We all need to pray for the victims of this disaster, that God will have mercy on the survivors, and pray for the rescuers, that they will be safe and that God will protect them.

And, in a world so filled with hate, violence, sin, and human degeneration, we DO need to ask the question, "Is God trying to tell us something?" Remember, it is recorded in the Old Testament that God brought a great flood on a world that had sunk into terrible depravity. It could easily be argued that we find ourselves in such a world today. I have to wonder, when I realize that a vast majority of people killed and left destitute in the tsunamis were muslims, who follow a false religion sworn to kill or convert the entire world at the point of the sword of islam. Another large percentage of victims are buddhist, hindu, and other eastern religions.

I realize that my statements here are controversial, but they are meant to engender thought only. My own beliefs are that God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, and that Christ Jesus is the only way to eternal life in Heaven. That is what the Bible says, and it is what we should follow today. Again, pray for the victims of this great tragedy.
