Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Something has happened that appears on the surface to be bad news, but it is in reality very good news. God has given the world a glimpse of His wrath—just a glimpse. It’s terrible, and it’s heart-rending, but a slight taste in advance of what “the day of the Lord” will be like is good news for young people. They need to know that God is for real, that His justice is in contrast to the alluring immorality that has all but captivated the world.

 

“Katrina” intervened just in time to cancel the wild celebration of homosexual immorality scheduled for New Orleans during “Katrina’s” week. They proudly call it “Southern Decadence”—actually glorying in the “decadence” word itself. Thousands come to it from all over the world, reveling in an abandonment of moral restraint for a few days. It’s a new Sodom and Gomorrah. But God’s message got through, for He knew how to get top billing in the media. All the psychologists in the world cannot erase the impression burnt into the minds of thoughtful youth: God has expressed His white-hot wrath against civic “decadence.” He is not angry with the people; but His anger burns hot against sin itself.

 

As soon as there can be some material recovery, the decadence-lovers will return to insulting Jesus Christ and Him crucified. But for a brief unforgettable moment “the Lord has made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations.” The world has intently watched this humiliating “fall” of New Orleans. God can command world attention! But the good news is in the rest of that verse: “And all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God” (Isa. 52:10). The presence of bad news proves that good news is coming—the loud cry of the pure “most precious” gospel of Christ’s righteousness in Revelation 18:1-4. God’s “holy arm” has been covered; now it’s beginning (only beginning) to be “made bare.” From now on the “final movements will be rapid ones.”
