Natural Disasters and the Judgment of God 
by Anthony Weber 

Whenever America experiences a large natural disaster or "act of God," in insurance company lingo - the inevitable question resurfaces in Christian circles: What is God angry about? What did we do?It's a popular topic every time a storm hits, especially if it hits where we don't live. 

Usually, the apparent target of God's wrath is a particular situation or people group about which the person claiming clarity happens to feel very strongly ("It's the homosexual abortion doctor! It's because of international policies! It's the war! It's liberal, feminist Marxists! It's the greedy Wall Street 1%! It's evolution in our schools! It's for someone with whom I am displeased!") 

There's quite a list that gets generated in the aftermath of a disaster like Hurricane Sandy. God has lots of options.

This is not new information. Even Jesus pointed out that the net we cast for sin gathers in quite a large catch. Jesus was once asked if a tower's collapse in Siloam was a judgment from God on a particularly bad group of people. Jesus' response was this: "Do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? No! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." (Luke 13:4-5) In other words, if we are trying to figure out who deserves judgment, we should start with ourselves. 

Many Christians today don't cast the net as widely as Jesus did. They observe modern Siloam towers fall and assume God is particularly unhappy with a specific target group. "Thank God it's not me!" (said all those who lived far enough away).

This perspective blatantly ignores the perspective of Jesus. If a hurricane impacts some, it's deserved by all. 

But there is a more fundamental question that needs to be addressed: Does God use natural disasters to punish America?

Clearly, God has used this method at times according to the Bible. The Old Testament is full of stories where God used nature to further His purposes, or to send a message of blessing or judgment. I'm asking if God still does this today in America. I believe He does not, and I have several reasons.

First, if we have been hammered because of God's wrath, why is God so angry? Hurricane Sandy's arrival in November of 2012 gave us a lot of options. Was it the election? International politics? New York City's recent decision to hand out more contraception? The cast of Jersey Shore? The lobster industry? Abortion? Homosexuality? Greedy 1%ers? Wall Street? Halloween? 

The Bible does not portray a God who slaps people around and then makes them guess why. The prophet Amos once wrote to the Israelites that when it comes to judgment, "God does nothing
 without first telling his prophets the whole story." (Amos 3:7). A punishment without a known reason accomplishes nothing. We do not have record that Pharaoh ever said, "What was that all about?"

When God brought judgment to a situation in the Bible, there was a pattern: people were engaged in known, obvious wickedness; they received a clear, prophetic call to repentance; they were given an opportunity to escape. The book of Jonah provides a great example of how this works.

Second, if large natural disasters are national referendums, what do local storms mean? If we know God was angry at America because of a hurricane, was He in addition mildly irritated with Traverse City? We got some wind and rain, along with a few downed trees and power outages. A tree fell on my neighbor's house but not mine; should I read something into that? 

In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus noted, "[God] causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous" (Matthew 5:45). It's tough to use any kind of weather to gauge the character of our neighbors, be they local, national, or international.

Third, if we can use natural disasters as a means of gauging God's displeasure, why hasn't Vegas been leveled? It's Sin City; it's the poster city for pretty much everything for which Christianity grieves. On an international level, why doesn't Amsterdam (with all its decadence) or Switzerland (with all the money that passes through) get nailed? That would seem like an easy choice.

Luke 9:51-55 records this interesting window into the mindset of Jesus: "Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, 'Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?' But Jesus turned and rebuked them."

I wonder what Jesus would say to us today.

Testimony Contest

Forty members will have their testimony selected for this inspirational book. Have you submitted yours? This will be a very powerful tool that will seek the lost and encourage the found. Publishing is already set up and an aggressive marketing plan is in place.

Here are are the opening two paragraphs of the Testimony book. 

Forty true stories lie naked on the pages of this book like an open wound, pounding and pulsing to the rhythm of forty heartbeats. The testimonies would bleed but the cuts are too deep. Though limbs have been severed, lives have been changed. All to the glory of the King of Kings, Jesus Christ.

When God told Noah He was going to make it rain for forty days and forty nights, Noah didn’t build the ark with comfort in mind. Noah’s goal was to be confident it would weather the storm. Neither did the forty people who tell their stories in this book have comfort in mind when they built their lives around Christ. This is exactly why they, like Noah, keep their faith in spite of torrential downpours. Jesus doesn’t remove the disturbances; He is the shelter, in the meanwhile.


You can also submit a cover idea for a chance at a $200 prize. The cover shown is just one idea.

Testimonies selected will receive royalties, both here and in heaven. Someone out there will benefit from your testimony. Write it down and submit it today!
  Contest deadline is July 20th, complete contest details: TESTIMONY CONTEST

How can I improve as a writer?

One of the most winning coaches in college basketball history was John Wooden at UCLA. John did not have his players focus on elaborate plays or fancy stuff. He had them focus on the basics. They shot free throws for hours.  I would bet that many of the young players thought coach Wooden was far too simple in his approach. Yet Wooden's teams won games and titles and at one time had an 88 game winning streak. John was a winner because he took the the players through the proper steps to get to the top. I would bet that many young men who came to Wooden wanted to be on top right away,  but he started them with the basics. He established their foundation so that they would not defeat themselves. 

We all have a tendency to want to start at the top. We tend to ignore the initial steps and the preparation to get there. I have personally been this way for years. I always skipped over the preparation and just threw the paint on the walls, if you know what I mean. I did this to some extent with my book, Gravity - True For You But Not For Me. I had the passion and the idea but I rushed things a bit and did not really prepare properly. Yes the book is out there, the message is being heard and it is doing somewhat as I had hoped. But what could it have done if I had really prepared?

These days God is showing me that preparation is 90% of the job. Jesus, Paul and the disciples all had times of preparation. Jesus took 30 years for a 3 year ministry. I am not saying you need to take that long, but are you really prepared to be the writer God wants you to be? That's where FaithWriters can help in a big way. But only if you get involved. Here are some ideas.

Utilize our writing lessons designed for the Christian writer                                Enter the Challenge 

Submit your work for honest critiques that might hurt initially                             Communicate with more experienced writers

You probably have already realized how personal our writing becomes to us. It can be scary to put it out there for all to see and possibly criticize. But I am here to tell you from personal experience that the critiques are much more harsh outside of FaithWriters, This is the place to grow and take the risks. Other members want the same thing that you do. They will be honest, but in a caring way. 

Remember who God seemed to use most of the time? The most unlikely. Make a commitment to face your fear of rejection and go for it.

FaithWriters Great Multitude Daily Bible Devotional for June 1st 2013 
Inspired by Rev 7:9-12 

Conversations With Jesus ~ Thomas
By Cheryl Harrison


John 20:29: “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

In the midst of grief and fear, a small group of people hid behind locked doors. Unseen enemies lurked in the darkness awaiting the opportunity to sow seeds of doubt. One seed of doubt can weaken the focus of an uncertain heart, and since things did not happen the way Thomas expected, his heart was fertile ground.

The disciples were overjoyed when Jesus appeared. But, Thomas, who was not present when Jesus came, refused to believe the truth. He proclaimed, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

One week later, Jesus returned to visit his doubting disciple. This time, Thomas was present, and Jesus spoke directly to him. "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." Jesus knew how to alleviate Thomas’ unbelief and chose to reveal Himself in a way that Thomas could understand.

Only God can move us from unbelief to faith. Unlike Thomas, we haven’t seen Jesus with our own eyes, nor have we touched his wounds. But, as promised, there is a blessing for those who believe without seeing. We walk by faith and not by sight, trusting the Lord will reveal himself to us in ways we can understand.

Today’s writer has a passion to write for the Lord that she cannot escape. She lives in Texas, USA. Contact

Faithwriter's daily devo's have been such a blessing!!! In Praise to Him - Colleen Fischinger


Easy way to deliver the Good News.

When you receive and read the daily Bible devotional from FaithWriters, think about who you know that might be able to benefit from that specific message. Click the forward tab on the devotional email and send it to them. Include a personal note telling the person it made you think of them or their circumstances. This is an easy way to let them know you are thinking of them and you care. It will bless them and plant seeds in their heart. The page always has a link to accept Jesus. Who knows what God might do with your obedience and one click of your mouse?


FaithWriters is unique in its dual purpose. We accept fiction, non-fiction, poems, devotionals, Bible studies and other articles written from a Christian perspective. You would not find all of these articles on a site that is strictly evangelistic in nature. Therefore, we may receive many visitors who would not go to a traditional evangelism site. Many may not even be looking for Jesus, but He still meets them when they visit. In our experience, God tends to find people right where they are in their life. This may be while they are reading your article about marriage or divorce. It might happen when they read about struggles with sin, or your fictional story. What we are saying is to keep on submitting your various pieces authored by you. Because you never know how God will use your piece to touch someone's heart or change their life.

Men and women from over 200 countries are attracted to the FaithWriters site by your various articles on the end of our fishing pole. Many have no other way than the internet to find out about Jesus. They are able to learn a lot from our site and the various sites to which we have provided links. 

Since adding links to the gospel, at least 310 people have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior directly through FaithWriters.com. We know it is not about only about the numbers. We also know that accepting Jesus and confessing Him is just where it starts. It is an honor to consider the fact that God would use us in this way.

We contact every person who leaves an email address, and provide them with more information about the decision they have just made. Sometimes we correspond with them several times, answering their questions or agreeing with them in prayer. We even offer to place them in contact with another believer (FaithWriters member) in their country. 


Here is a recent email we received:

type of prayer : first time prayer

First name : chura montgomery
Postal code : T4N 4G7
Town : Red deer
Country : Canada
E-mail : Please leave a comment. : Gracias por la informaciosn Soy una persona muy espiritual Yo creo mucho en Jesus y en Dios nuestro gran Padre  Translated - Thanks for the informaciosn am a very spiritual person I believe very much in Jesus and in God our great father.

A Father's Love

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" - Jeremiah 29:11

Fathers come in all shapes and sizes. They also come with all sorts of personalities - some loving, others perhaps not so loving. Some of you may have been raised by a father whose picture could have been posted alongside the word "strict" in the dictionary - or maybe even the word "jerk." There are probably many of you who grew up with only a part-time father. Or maybe no father at all.

Unfortunately, those who have never known a loving father, or at least have never quite connected with the earthly father they've known, find it more difficult to relate to their heavenly Father. We, with our carnal minds, tend to correlate the physical with the spiritual. But just because we may think of God in a particular way, doesn't make it so.

The truth is that our heavenly Father will always be here for us (Deut. 31:6). He offers unconditional love (1 John 4:7-8). He delights in us (Psalm 149:4). He will always give us what's best (Matt 7:9). And, as God Himself tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, He wants us to prosper, to keep us safe, give us hope and a future.

If you have been blessed with a loving earthly father, give thanks and rejoice! Lavish love on your dad this Father's Day and tell him how much he means to you. For the rest of you, cling to the fact that you DO have a daddy. One who will never let you down. One who loves you more than the world, and who wants nothing more than to wrap you - His child - in His arms.


A note to the dads: You have been awarded the great honor of reflecting God's fatherly love onto your children. Thank you for all you do! Now, go hug your kids!

Gerald Shuler
An evil giant has stolen a magical rainbow from the elves of Magicland. Now it is up to a brave frog to face the giant and get the rainbow back. A frog? Ah, my friend, Mr. Greencroak is no ordinary frog.

This story was never meant to be a book. In fact, it was originally meant to be heard as a series of bedtime stories by only one small, somewhat spoiled child . . . my sister, Waunita Marie Shuler Reeves. Don’t misunderstand, she wasn’t spoiled because of bad parenting or a totally yielding 12 year older brother. No, she was spoiled by Doctor’s Orders. Really. You see, she was born with a problem that would have been potentially deadly if she used her stomach muscles too much. Of course, being a baby, she didn’t know she was supposed to restrict some of her normal activities, like crying. So it became a team effort for our family to find ways to keep her from crying any more than could be helped.
