I was sent this; not sure where it orginated:

“The first tornado to touch down in downtown Minneapolis in 90 years touched down at the intersection of the street where the Minneapolis Convention Center and Central Lutheran Church occupy opposite sides of the street. Good Soil, the gay lobby group was planning a dinner in some tents in the courtyard area this evening and a worship service at Central Lutheran this evening. The tornado leveled the tents, tables and chairs and some cooking equipment being used for the Good Soil gathering. It tore mature trees out of the soil. And most strikingly, it ripped the cross from the top of Central Lutheran Church and left it hanging by a thread. I’ve attached some pictures I took with the camera in my phone. The Good Soil people are saying that “Some crazies will be saying that God had something to do with all of this.” They are certain it is all just a coincidence. I am thankful nobody was hurt. But given the fact that the storm struck at 2:01 pm, one minute after the debate on the social statement began, I’m not so sure. By the way, the social statement was adopted by a 66.67% to 33.2% majority late this afternoon. All requests for a recount were denied.”

As some Christians don’t really believe in Christianity any longer, maybe they would prefer to call the event “synchronicity.”

That wasn’t punishment from God.

It was a celebration by Gaia for another conversion!

The cross was hanging upside down.

The notion that God no longer uses the forces of His creation as punishment, or as chastisement to provoke repentance is one of the casualties of liberal protestantism, correctly foretold by H. Richard Neibuhr in 1937 (note the date!)

"a God without wrath who brings humans without sin into a kingdom without judgment through a Christ without a cross."

Consider that as you contemplate the steeple of Central Lutheran and tremble!

Galatians 6:7
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

This pastor belongs on the short bus. The shorter, the better.
