Dear Editor,
Lately there has been a lot of e-mails circulating in regards to "What to do during an earthquake.... must read!!"
I must have received at least five of the same e-mail before I started questioning the validity of "triangle of life". Through a friend's help, I was able to decipher the truth from the myth of this practice suggested.
After this meaningful exercise, what really caught my attention was not "the right thing to do during an earthquake", but the concern we have for each other classifying those e-mails into a "must read" category. Of course, the kind intention was to save lives, when caught in disasters.
How about us as Christians? Do we send out e-mails to friends and families with the same concerns to save lives through Christ? How prepared are we, not for the next earthquake but rather for the second coming of Christ? What is our "must read" material? How much do we know about our Faith and the certainty that are we passing around Biblical Truths?
A lot of the mass e-mails circulated usually ends with "send it to 10 people within the next 5 minutes and you will be blessed.". If all Christians send out a Gospel message to 10 non-believers within five minutes, indeed we will be blessed plentifully with eternal rewards.
Remember the prayer for Japan we shared?
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)
Even without earthquakes or natural disasters, our lives will come to an end one day. However, we are promised a new heaven and a new earth where the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. (Rev 21:1-3)
Praise Him!!
Jane
