I have frequent discussions with an atheist captain on our police dept. He asked me if this hurricane was an act of nature or an act of God. I told him it was an act of God.
He scoffed as usual. He reminds me of the minister in this story.
He wanted to know why God would send this hurricane if he was so loving. I told him it's a wake up call and told him Mother Teresa's words that 'no country that permits abortion will ever have peace.' And that we have murdered over 40 million unborn babies in this country and there is a price to pay for that.
Maybe some day he'll come around.
Good message for all of us to give others!
Good for you! By now, of course, the clarion call is extended beyond the massive murder of our unborn children and into the societal decadence, such as gay unions and marriage, cloning, stem cells and the like. God is undoubtedly more patient than man but even He has a limit. The very fact that the police captain made the connection between God and this tempest, lends veracity to this thread. Even the sinners eventually wake up to reality.
