Generally, I avoid posting threads of this nature but given comments made by a NO Councilman and published by the press this week, I opted to post this story, for your discernment. It is well worth the entire read.

For those who may have missed the news report, here is a link:

New Orleans City Council President: "Maybe God's Going To Cleanse Us"

A waring to N. Orleans.

Good on you for posting it. It is plain as day that this chastisement like the tsunami are warnings to the people of the Earth with more chastisements to come if we do not repent and return to God. The children of Israel understood what disasters meant. They would repent before God, and strive to return to Him with all their hearts.

In light of Katrina (and 2 other chastisments I reckon as coming soon) we need to repent and return to Jesus. As a nation this must happen. The President should lead us in national repentance and mourning -- and thanksgiving to God for his gifts.

Declarations of how great we are and how we can rebuild on our own power are as odious to God as King David's census. It is time to get off of our proud horse and lie prostrate in the dust before the Lord and say, "Father, I have sinned."

The first thing the President could do that could diminish the impact of the chastisements is to issue an executive order protecting the "life rights" of the pre-born and putting an end to abortion in America.

As long as we Americans murder children in the womb, we march toward a giant chastisement that spells out the end of our existence as surely as the Flood of Noah spelt the end of the civilisations of his day.

I have frequent discussions with an atheist captain on our police dept. He asked me if this hurricane was an act of nature or an act of God. I told him it was an act of God.

He scoffed as usual. He reminds me of the minister in this story.

He wanted to know why God would send this hurricane if he was so loving. I told him it's a wake up call and told him Mother Teresa's words that 'no country that permits abortion will ever have peace.' And that we have murdered over 40 million unborn babies in this country and there is a price to pay for that.

Maybe some day he'll come around.
