What would a tragedy be?

Without a coarse, Gospel-less, un-Christian ugly comment from Pat Robertson. I hate to even give it a platform but this man needs to be called to repent for the ugliness that spews from his mouth. The idea that the proper reaction for Christians to the earthquake in Haiti is not compassion on the children and others who are dying this very minute but to make yet another false prophecy about God striking them down in judgment is perverse. Shame on him. With his resources he should be leading the charge to help those who have been stricken. Instead he is standing alone like a mad dog presuming to speak for God and heaping condemnation upon his own head.

Randy and I are currently reading through the book of Job. Randy suggested that Mr. Robertson do the same. Perhaps then he would be reminded that not every calamity that comes upon us is God's punishment for our wrongdoing.

As if everyone of us isn't worthy of temporal and eternal death.

We are worthy of those things, but by the grace of God we will not receive the latter.

In this life, there is no justice, no peace, and no victory.

And that goes for the Christian as well as anyone else.

Pat Robertson has got that holier than thou viewpoint from an inability to distinguish God's law from His gospel, and a lifetime of placing himself at the center, instead of Christ.

May the Lord forgive him for his Phariseeism and stupidity.
