John,
While what you say rings of truth, at the same time, I do believe the Word gives us enough providential judgements that we can with confidence understand that damaging natural disasters might very well be prolcamations of divine criticism. For instance, I know of a church right now whose pastor has been embezzling and lying for years. He is a man of conviction and powerful preaching, but he is and has lived subversively to the gospel. The church has never (in 16 years) owned its own building nor has it ever grown larger than its 20-30 families.

I think I have the 7 letters to back me up on that one.

Along these lines, I try to enable my students to realise that LORD is not YHWH's name and that it might suit to substitute LORD with his actual name: YaHWeH. I mean, imagine referring to one's wife only by her initials, "I love you, MEF."
Naming God: Does It Matter What We Call Him?
Naming God is an extremely important matter that too few of us take as seriously as we should. This issue gets pushed forward now and then when various progressive readings of Scripture are promoted in the church. Sometimes these progressive tendencies come from radical feminism. Sometimes they ...
