Amos 3 and Hurricane Matthews

Amos 3 by Rev. Cornelis Pronk (Text; Amos 3:8; Preached in 1978)

Just a note about this sermon. This sermon was preached by Rev. Cornelis Pronk in 1978.  The text he uses is Amos 3:8: "The lion hath roared, who shall not fear. The Lord God hath Spoken, who can but prophecy?"

In the past people have tried to claim that God is sending his judgment on certain areas that are affected by disasters like Hurricane Matthews. Rev. Pronk says we should never do that. Still, he says, and I agree with him on this, that when these disasters occur, it should cause us to stop and ask ourselves, "What is God saying to us in the disaster?"
