TSUNAMI 2004
The question comes to us all: Why did this happen? There are many responses floating around.
Actually, there are many other ideas being put forth out there that are too many to list. However, all of the above-proposed purposes for this tsunami of 2004 are in line with the Bible and with God's character. How does this apply to you and me? How are you investing your life for the Lord? Although we don't yet know the exact death figure from this disaster, we do know that around 150,000 are estimated to be dead, and more being found daily. Where did all these people go once they stopped breathing: to Heaven or to Hell? In all probability, the majority went to Hell. So let me ask you again: How are you investing your life for the Lord? Are you praying for those involved in the suffering and aftermath of the tsunami? They need your prayers? There is widespread hunger, thirst, and need for both clothing and shelter. And there is widespread spiritual hunger and thirst in their souls as well. Are you praying for their needs, both physical and spiritual, to be met? If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you want others praying for your physical and spiritual needs, too? Are you praying for the missionaries and national churches in those lands who are placed there strategically by God for such a time as this? Are you praying for their effectiveness in meeting the needs of the people that they might win many to Christ through this overwhelming catastrophe? Are you praying for the physical and emotional needs of those laboring in these zones of mass destruction and continual danger. Disease and plagues are still possible in the aftermath, and could affect our Christian brethren as well. Are you seeking for a means of sending aid to these people? Many lost people are sending millions of dollars in social aid and showing their pity on these nations. And what about us as Christians? Shouldn't we who have experienced God's great mercy be showing mercy to others? Shouldn't we be doing all we can to take advantage of the open doors to get the blessed Gospel of Christ to these millions under such duress? Are you sending funds through your local church to the missionaries you support located in these lands? What is your church doing? What should you be doing? Are you witnessing where you are? Are you leading men and women to the Lord? Are you wisely using your life in the service of Christ Jesus? Are you striving to win men and women to Christ now before death claims those around you? Lastly, could it be that God is opening your eyes to the spiritual need of the lost around the world? Are you seeing the spiritual needs of this world like you've never seen before? Is God tugging at your heart? Is He calling you to give your life in sacrificial service to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are in constant, daily danger of perishing and going to a Christless eternity? SWMI is looking for men and women who have been called of God to help us reach both the deaf and hearing of this world for Christ. If you have any questions about how you can be involved personally, financially, and/or vocationally in world missions, please, contact our International Missions Director, David Bennett. |
You
have seen the pictures and video clips. You have read the news
of possibly the worst tsunami ever, in terms of lives lost and
total dollar damage. What horrible damage it did. We have all,
from the comfort of our homes, been shocked; and rightly so. This
is the reality of millions in our lifetime today.|
