God’s Teaching

A survivor of the tornados that struck the Southern part of the US over the last part of last week said, “(He) put on sweat pants, grabbed a flashlight, drank a shot of whiskey, “and then I heard this noise.” He headed for a door, “and all of a sudden I heard the glass breaking and it was sucking,” he said. “When I tried to shut the door, [it] seemed like the door was lifting up. So I just dove and I lay flat on the floor.”
Lying there, everything in the house flew over him, scraping and banging his back, then the chaos stopped. “I was laying in the dirt. There was no floor. No nothing.” The house was gone, but he believes there’s reason why he survived.
“I think God was holding my leg, beating my (expletive deleted), teaching me that I hadn’t been doing everything He wanted me to do,” he said.

Well, I don’t know if that is the way God works or not, but I can assure you I don’t want to be taught that way. There is no question that there are a multitude of things God’s wants us to know and be about, but He has provided a process for that to occur. I believe I would rather find myself in a place where God’s design and purpose are taught without all the drama and trauma.

You might try your local Bible-believing/teaching Church and avoid some, shall we say, “stuff.”
