The Sky Is Falling

Fellow Labourers-

The events since Sunday (May 23, 2010) will have a lasting impact for many lives. For some it could be a turning point for greater service in the Kingdom. For some it could be a life worse than before. For yet others it could be business as usual. The 'sky is falling' could be a perspective or it could be reality. Reality or perspective is not the issue, but what impact it could have. For years a lot of preparation went into preparation for Y2K. I don't know the numbers, but a lot of Churches had increased membership. A lot of businesses went into extravagant expenditures. But again was the sky falling?

Sir John Haughton CBE, FRS, professor of Atmospheric Physics at Oxford University and author of the book "Global Warming" had this to say. "About every three to five years a large area of warmer water appears and persists for a year or more. Because they usually occur around Christmas these are known as El Nino ('the boy child') events. They have been well known for centuries to the countries along the coast of South America because of the devastating effect on the fishing industry; the warm water top waters of the ocean prevent the nutrients from lower, colder levels required by the fish from reaching the surface."

Global warming-fact or fiction- or a little of both? I don't know how many of us are aware that the term "Climate Change" is now more politically correct than the term "Global warming". Why? That's your homework. So is the sky falling?

One thing that I have observed is that mankind is getting progressively worse even in light of "Karma". This was said long ago by the Bible that in the last days perilous times shall come. Today perilous times are upon us. How are we going to respond?

"The Christian alternative to a culture of fear is a kingdom of hospitality and abundance, vulnerability and generosity, love and self-sacrifice—the very kingdom Christ shaped with his living and dying, and invites us to do the same." - Jill Carattini
