Question: In November 2013, parts of the Philippines were devastated by a powerful typhoon.

Why do calamities, such as the Yolanda typhoon happen? Why didn’t You stop this? The people in the area are not bad people. Many of them seem to be very devout?

God’s answer:

Perfect weather

You live your faith.

Question: What does it mean to “live your faith”?

God’s answer:

God holding an infant child with one hand. With the other, He is making a toast with the chalice (blood of Christ)

A Passover meal: red wine, lamb and leavened bread. Written on the table are the words To life.

You are born free.

Meaning: The basic teaching of the Christian church is that we are all saved. This is our faith. However, we don’t ask for this salvation. We tend to have a very narrow definition of what it means to have a relationship with God. So, we continue to be imperfect and to experience imperfections all around us. We are slaves of sin – for it sin that causes imperfections. – our sins, the sins of others and the sins of the world. If one wants to be free from misery, tragedy, problems, heartaches, worries, fears, etc., ask God for the grace of salvation, pick up your cross and follow Him home.
