You know, as they say in those earthquake drills, "Hold onto something heavy." That's Jesus. http://hutchcraft.com/blogs/ron-hutchcrafts-blogs/scary-times 2011-03-16T12:19:38-05:00 As the tsunami was racing across the Pacific, I saw this cable news banner: "People are urged to take urgent action to protect lives." Our potentially "apocalyptic" world seems to be calling us to one of two spiritual responses - "urgent action." If you belong to Jesus, act urgently to tell people you love about Him - no more excuses, no more stalling. If you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus, act urgently to give yourself to Him. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024:7&version=NIV 2009-09-11T10:04:18-05:00 The unending bad news we read in the news of wars, earthquakes, famines, and other disasters shouldn't surprise us--Jesus predicted that such things would continue to plague humanity. It's our job to be faithful servants of Christ amidst such tragedies. http://answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/catastrophic-plate-tectonics 2008-01-12T20:58:00-05:00 Investigations of the earth’s surface have revealed that it has been divided globally by past geologic processes into what today is a mosaic of rigid blocks called “plates.” Observations indicate that these plates have moved large distances and that they are still moving.
