Devastated. Shocked. Confused. Numb.
These are a few words that come to mind regarding the earthquake that rocked Haiti. Our leaders will meet tonight to discuss our church’s response to this great tragedy. I will share our plan of action tomorrow.
Labeling any natural disaster as God’s judgment is nonsense. True “judgment begins with God’s family” (1Peter4:17), not others.
Peter warned that God judges all people according to their deeds. He also disciplines and judges his own children in order to refine them, as Peter has explained in 1 Peter 1:6-7. This judgment purifies and strengthens believers, readying them for God’s Kingdom. Natural disasters are the result of living in a broken world! Please pray for nation of Haiti.
