Jay Younts reflects on God, Cyclones, Earthquakes and the News:

It is no longer politically correct to associate God with the news of the day. Low pressure centers form and produce hurricanes and tornadoes. A fault line slips and an earthquake happens. In a world which refuses to allow for the actions of the God of the Bible, life hangs in the balance of random chance. This view is pervasive and impacts you and your children, whether you realize it or not. Instead of assuming the providential control of God, the relevance of God—any god—is assigned by the media to memorial services occurring after the fact.

The perspective we learn from the God of the Bible is quite the opposite. Colossians 1 speaks of Jesus Christ holding all things together—all things. Whatever happens in this world, as Christians we must start with this fact.
