What About the Lovely Unbelievers?

During my sermon last week I made reference to the passage in Ephesians 4:17-19 where Christians are told very strongly that their way of life must no longer be like that of the non-Christian world around them: “You must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.”

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUCH TRAGEDY?

I listened with interest to the comment by a Sydney Radio compere this week that, as a Christian, he wondered why God allows such things (as Hurricane Katrina) to happen. This is a question that others in the community are asking, and it is good for us to be ready with an answer.
May I suggest that there are at least three possible lines of thought to consider: 1. It is part of the natural process of God’s creation; 2. It is part of the ‘End Time’ catastrophic events predicted by Jesus; and 3. It is a judgement from God on man’s wickedness.

AMERICAN TRAGEDY

America has a reputation around the world for doing things bigger and better than anyone else. Certainly, their worldwide contribution to humanitarian aid, and their involvement in the worldwide missionary movement are far greater than anyone else. But this week has seen disaster strike the United States at an unprecedented level. The Mayor of New Orleans is reported to have described his city as “another Hiroshima.”
