Unless You Repent - Questions of Disaster and Judgment
The responsibility of repentance rests first and foremost on the Church of Christ. Can you imagine what might happen in this country and around the world if Christians were to demonstrate what it means to repent of our own sins? I think we ought to find out.
I don’t know whether all these cataclysmic events that are going on are God’s way of judging us or not. No one can know that. But I do know one thing: We evangelicals can often be very good at showing hubris. Well, maybe it is time as this year draws to an end that we ought to try instead a healthy dose of repentance.
Along those same lines, here’s a quote by Henry Blackaby:
But when the world saw God’s people realizing how serious sin was in their lives, it brought them under severe conviction of their own sin, and atheists and agnostics watching God’s people confess their sin and getting their lives right cried out, “Oh, me too! If that person cries out to God and realizes how serious it is, how much more do I need to cry out?” There is written testimony of agnostics coming to know Christ in the middle of a meeting where God’s people realized the seriousness of their sin, and the agnostics cried out to God, “Oh, God, have mercy on me! Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly. Cleanse me. Deal with me. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
