I'm sure, by now, everyone knows about the horrible earthquake that recently occurred in Haiti. The pain and devastation is sobering. The destruction and cost of life may turn out to be the equivalent of a thousand 9/11s.
In light of all this, what do you do with Pat Robertson's recent statement; that Haiti is under a curse for the pact it made with the devil, some 200 years ago?
Some intelligent remarks and responses have been offered:
Last night, our PC class posted that question to CJ Mahaney. I didn't get his remarks written down word-for-word, but it was something akin to this: Our response to the tragedy in Haiti should be one of sorrow; our hearts should go out. Personally, our response ought to be one of amazement; that we weren't the one swallowed up in an earthquake. In light of God's holiness and our sinfulness, it is only amazing grace that we stand here alive today with hope for tomorrow.
