Sons To Glory
obedience to them. This is no different than His allowing the
Ark of the Covenant that carried the Ten Commandments to be
taken away from Israel by her enemies. And it is another in a
long line of warnings to those claiming to know God that
judgment is to soon descend on our nation just as it did on Israel
for the same reasons: disregard for the Law of God. And the
responsibility for this rests squarely on the shoulders of the
church. 32
May the church arise and fulfill its call to disciple the nations and see
the Lord glorified in His people! - “Thus speaks the Lord of hosts,
saying: This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the
Lord’s house should be built.” Then the word of the Lord came by
Haggai the prophet, saying, “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in
your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins? Now, therefore

state of Alabama (August 28, 2005). When you sow to the wind, you
will reap the whirlwind. It is a spiritual law that works just as sure as
gravity or any other law of nature. I don’t think it was a coincidence
that the planet Mars made its second closest encounter with earth on the
same day that hurricane Katrina was at its strongest point the day
before making landfall. The only recorded closer approach of the
planet Mars was at the same time this Alabama Ten Commandment
monument was being removed two years earlier to the day.
Another interesting example of reaping and sowing is the parallel
between this hurricane Katrina and the nation of Israel’s recent
