Current Spate of Natural Disasters

[Joseph Arhavbarien]

 

Hi Everyone,

 

This topic is a departure from the usual author stuff, however, I believe it will be of interest to all.

Something of interest to me is the spate of natural or perhaps man-made disasters that have continued to spread from one nation to another since this year began. It is not that things like earthquakes, floods e.t.c have not happened before, it is the concentration of these events within the space of three weeks of 2011 that is worrisome. I shared some thought with fellow brethren at an Alpha plus class for graduates from Alpha training last week and the area of concern was how we should respond to these occurrences. Are these incidences indicative of God's judgement on wickedness of men or are they just natural occurrences that we should not allude anything divine to? How should we view people suffering calamities of these sorts? Scripture to think on was Luke 13: 1-5
