God is Love

There is a big row over Pat Robinson's comments about Haiti. Did God do this, they ask, surely he is a God of love. Then Pat is condemned for his comments about Haiti making a covenant with the Devil.
Just look at the country, is a country that is Blessed or cursed. Looks cursed to me. Before you criticize Pat, why not find out what he is doing. Well the 700 Club was there before the earth quake and is still there working desperately to help those people, getting fresh water to them just for a start. Praying and bringing in other supplies.
But let us look at this from the Bible point of view.
1 Jh 4:8 "He that loves not knows not God, for God is Love.
Of course God loves those people. But God hates sin, Isa 59:2 "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that He will not hear"
So by that country making a covenant with the Devil, they separated themselves from God and his Love.
Jer 17:5-8 "Cursed be the man that trust in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the Lord. For he shall be like the shrub in the desert and shall not see when good comes; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness in a salt land which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out its roots by the river and shall not fear when the heat comes, but it's leaf shall be green; and shall not be anxious in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
Rom 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" as opposed to verse 9......"Now if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of His"
All I can say is this, why not put your faith and trust in God, Psalm 91:11 "For He shall give His Angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways."
I really trust in His promises, I really believe in the promises made in Psalm 91, verse 7-8 "A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand. but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked"
I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing the testimonies of the Christians in Haiti. Look at the woman pulled out of the wreckage of the bank, giving praise to God, into her husbands arms and being driven home, after about 5 days. Praise God, He is a God of Love and lever leaves us or forsakes us.
So to those who want to name and blame and shame. Stop your nonsense and put your hand into your pocket and give to the 700 club and do your bit to help instead of hinder.
