Americans aren't much for kings. The last one we had was ridiculed in cartoon and song. Can't say I blame us, King George.
Even when they threw out their physical king, our founding fathers accepted that there was a Divine Authority to Whom they owed allegiance. Our Constitution was based on Judeo-Christian laws, bowing to the wisdom of God in establishing an orderly society.
It saddens me that our nation has once again overthrown their King, ridiculing Him in cartoon and song. We no longer have freedom of religion. We have activists leading us toward freedom from religion.
I wish to note here that God does not need our permission to exist. He doesn't need our permission to act according to His own principles. It is not His job to give us everything we demand of Him. He is not required to be politically correct.
Remember kings? What would happen to someone who came up to the king and demanded anything of him? What would happen to someone who broke one of the king's laws right in front of his face and then stuck out his tongue at the king and gave him a raspberry?
So if God does what He does to discipline us, to regain our attention, to remind us He exists, we get angry at Him. Or better yet, we call it something ungodly like "global warming".
You might review those verses that say there will be signs in the heavens, men's hearts failing them for fear, or the sun will be given power to scorch the earth. It also says that no one will repent even in the face of earthquakes and other disasters.
Lack of repentance is one of the signs of the end times. It's worth thinking about.

I'd listen to your sermons anywhere.
