Is God Behind Every Disaster? (#600)




The God Journey show

Summary: Two major hurricanes have already assaulted Caribbean islands and the United States mainland this year. Every time a major disaster like this hits, someone speaking in the name of God positions it as God's punishment to command repentance or humility. Is that true? Does God roll hurricanes at the U.S. like bowling balls to teach us a lesson or to punish us for some sin? Brad and Wayne discuss all this in response to an email and look at what Scripture has to say about disasters as God's judgment. They also end up wandering into related topics like unanswered prayer, and why so many prophecies about coming disasters are wrong, ill-timed, and unable to communicate the life of God to people.<br> Podcast Notes:<br><br> <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kirk-cameron-criticized-for-controversial-hurricane-irma-comments-w502129">Kirk Cameron's Comments on the Hurricanes</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/helping-people-feed/">Helping with Agriculture in Pokot</a><br><br> Add your voice to our question/comment line via Skype at "TheGodJourney"<br>
