Want to make my blood boil? I just saw the following as part of a comment on another blog.
Regarding Louisiana and New Orleans. This may be a way of God saying he was tired of the decadance that takes place there.
The comment went on to talk about all the sin that has gone on in New Orleans. To be honest, this kind of crap just pisses me off.
Ok let me ‘splain this for you. The reason that there was a hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast was because the was a low pressure system off the coast of Africa that was carried by oceanic currents and fueled by warm surface temperatures.
When bad things happen to good or bad people it is not our place to “God is punishing them because of …” it is God giving us the chance to get off our “Blessed Assurance” and put our faith to work. IF God punished sin with storms and other natural and circumstantial events, then why in the world are any of us still standing here?
There is sin in this world, you want someone to blame… look in the mirror, look at me, just look around… we are all guilty. God is merciful to us all and offers grace to everyone with no conditions.
God is not concerned about political agendas or sports team victories. He is concerned about your soul.
