That's how I feel regarding any attempt to provide biblical perspective or explanation regarding the human suffering associated with mid-January's earthquakes.

Dear Ministry Partners,
Many of you prayed and participated in our annual year-end giving campaign to help Life Action continue its ministry for another year.  The year-end match of $150,000 was met and we thank the Lord for His gracious provision through you.  We are genuinely enthused about the opportunities before us in 2010.  This summer we begin our 40th year of calling God’s people back to the Lord in repentance and revival.  How blessed and grateful we are for His grace as we venture into this special season of ministry.  On behalf of all the staff here ...

- C. H. Spurgeon 1 As we launch into 2010, please make it your goal to persevere in faith and earnest prayer for heaven-sent revival and spiritual awakening in our nation and world this year. As the darkness deepens, Christ's light can shine even more brilliantly! 2 With many making New Year's resolutions, pray that God would direct your mind and theirs ...
