Disasters and our response

The message this past Sunday morning at church would have been about Father's Day, since it was Father's Day, but..... instead it was about disasters (Iowa floods), particularly about how we, as Christians, can and should respond to them when we're in its midst.

Our pastor read Job 1 and made these points:

• Disasters are not necessarily God's judgement
• Disasters can prompt us to turn from sin and turn to Christ
• Disasters can prompt us to a more fruitful life
• Disasters should prompt us to do what we can

Our response should start with faith in Christ.
