Lecrae – Far Away (Haiti Relief)

The following is a moving rap from Lecrae in response to the recent earth quake in Haiti. Its theme is similar to the theme of Habakkuk. In chapter 1, Habakkuk is crying out to God for answers to the injustice he sees around him. In chapter 2, God says to wait and see that he will bring justice. Finally in chapter 3, Habakkuk, though he doesn’t fully understand, continues to trust and rejoice in God his Saviour.

Does God hate Haiti?

The following is an extended extract from Al Mohler. Read the rest here.

“Does God hate Haiti? That is the conclusion reached by many, who point to the earthquake as a sign of God’s direct and observable judgment. God does judge the nations — all of them — and God will judge the nations.”

His judgment is perfect and his justice is sure. He rules over all the nations and his sovereign will is demonstrated in the rising and falling of nations and empires and peoples. Every molecule of matter obeys his command, and the earthquakes reveal his reign — as do the tides of relief and assistance flowing into Haiti right now.

A faithful Christian cannot accept the claim that God is a bystander in world events. The Bible clearly claims the sovereign rule of God over all his creation, all of the time. We have no right to claim that God was surprised by the earthquake in Haiti, or to allow that God could not have prevented it from happening.

God’s rule over creation involves both direct and indirect acts, but his rule is constant. The universe, even after the consequences of the Fall, still demonstrates the character of God in all its dimensions, objects, and occurrences. And yet, we have no right to claim that we know why a disaster like the earthquake in Haiti happened at just that place and at just that moment.
