Have you ever wondered why bad things happen? Not just the crimes that people commit, but the natural disasters that strike around the world? Do you think there's a reason to them?
John P. McTernan has an interesting take on it in his book As America Has Done To Israel.
Mr. McTernan takes the verse from Genesis 12:3- And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.- literally as he looks back through America's history and their treatment of and relationship with the Jews.
There is a ton of historic fact and some wonderful side-by-side comparisons for those who are wondering if God's blessing to Abraham so long ago is still relevant today.
I'm a King James Bible believing sinner saved by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! I was raised by a good mother and I went to a KJV church growing up. I am a mother of 5 lovely children and am married to a crazy Cajun for 20 years now! I think bow ties are cool, and grey hairs are like tinsle for your head. I admire those who do right no matter the cost, and wish to avoid those who would compromise the truth.
Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.
