God's Warning?

The tornado hit just when ELCA Lutherans were beginning their debate. The debate? Should gay clergy be allowed to be pastors? The tornado's target? The convention center where the debate took place and the steeple of Central Lutheran Church. Hmmm.

"The tornado," wrote one pastor, "was a gentle but firm warning to ELCA and all of us: Turn from the approval of sin." *

I'm undecided. Should Christians announce God's judgment or warning? Or is it possible that if Christians remained quiet, people might hear from God, themselves?

What do you think? And here's my constant. What does Scripture say? A few verses, about words, come to my mind but they don't provide an instant answer. My words may line up with God's Word. But does my heart?

Enjoy God's Word today.

Ever Growing,
