I guess at this point I am still navigating through where I see myself concerning some of the things that he (this pastor) has come out and said.  While I don’t completely want to dismiss the potential for such devastation – at the same time I am not quick to jump on the band wagon that some of these things will happen or are happening as a result of God’s judgment on America.  America is not perfect and has never been perfect.  Even in our supposed Christian beginnings we fled from the religious strong hold of England and came to the New Englands to establish a religious ideal of freedom and then in our freedom drove the Indians off their land in bloodshed.  I say that to say that I don’t know that we as a nation have ever gotten it right.  When does God say enough is enough?  We have Biblical signs.  On a global scale they are all around us.

Aren’t you thankful for the mercy and kindness of God?  What about His patience?  Because of these attributes we are given the opportunity to know Him and to make Him known.  These are exciting times, where opportunities abound to be salt and light.  This is definitely not a time to be neglecting matters of the kingdom or to be surprised with no oil in our lamps Matthew 25:1-13.

On a practical side, I do think though that it is a good idea to be prepared in the case of a local or national crisis.  I am not there yet, but see the necessity.

I am interested in hearing your ideas.  Your comments are welcome and thanks for being part of this conversation.
