His rain falls upon the just and the unjust

"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but will also provide the way of escape." (I Corinthians 10:13)

What's your call on the devastation in Haiti? Some might say that the earthquake was judgment on voodoo! It is reported that some volunteer groups are reluctant to give aid to the voodoo people. I strongly disagree with that! Did the Good Samaritan question the religious affiliation of the robbery victim before he helped him? I think not!

When bad stuff happens, I don't shake my fist at God. How can I look at His cross and said that He is unfair?

His rain falls upon the just and the unjust. All you Christians should know that! When some say God is unjust, it is because they themselves are not just. Remedial repentance is appropiate, thou judge and jury religious person!

In Ezekiel 33:11 we read, "As I live, declares the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel?"

The rubble of the building on top of me will not hide me from God's attention. Christ is the way of escape to a better place!

Blessings!
