So, you think you can tell the difference? It would be very nice to know if God is sending a message or not, wouldn't it?

If your in sin take it at least as a warning. If you are in sin judgment COULD strike you at ANY GIVEN TIME.

So, for the folks in Joplin it was judgment, and for us a warning? Sort of a one size fits all occurence. Even the libs can join in and blame it on global warming.

Maybe I don't even know I'm in sin, and maybe that's exactly why God might need to warn me, and maybe it wouldn't make any sense at all to try to warn me in a way that I can't even tell it's a warning!

I mean sheesh!

Round and round she goes.......

Well, isn't that special?

Timmy,

There would be no reason for anyone to be in sin and not know it.
You are in sin
if you do not attend a UPC church and get there every time the door opens
if you do not give 15 percent of your gross income to the pastor of that UPC Church
if you disagree with or bend or break any of the rules as laid down by that pastor
if you speak any word of criticism against that UPC pastor
if if you have any facial hair and the hair on your head is parted in the middle, or spiked, or is long enough to touch your ears or collar
if you have a tv or monitor or computer in your home, garage, rv or vacation home
if you are guilty of disobeying any of the rules as set forth in the UPC Manual

That must be why the dryer broke down a few months ago!
