Repent or Perish

"In the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall, streams of water will flow on every high mountain and every lofty hill." (Isaiah 30:25 NIV)

Interesting. For those of you who have Bible's, please turn to Luke ch. 13. If you're one of those people out there that aren't fortunate enough to have one, please contact me and I'll make sure you have one!

At the beginning of Luke 13 we find Jesus talking about a couple specific instances of death and great slaughter. The question came of of why these people died that way, and some even thought it was because they were worse sinners.

Jesus corrected them. It wasn't because they were worse sinners at all. In fact sin, has nothing to do with it. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But these people didn't die for nothing, there suffering was supposed to be a lesson to the rest. Repent or Perish.

It's time for us as nation to repent. In modern day American, many are fighting to remove "God Bless America" or "In God we Trust" from American culture. Some claim it to be an infringement of rights. In my opinion, we are not doing enough to honor our Lord.

As I stood there in front of the TV, 10 years ago, I couldn't help but ponder the awesome power of God.Even when it comes to suffering and destruction, He's still in control. I just hope this lesson was not in vain. I pray that our nation will turn around and understand it to be a sign of repent or perish.
