The tragedy that happened in Haiti this past week has been heart wrenching for the world. Seeing the poorest country in the western hemisphere get demolished by an earthquake just tears me up. Pat Robertson made a remark that greatly disturbed many people, including myself. What ever happened to loving the world instead of condemning it?
Donald Miller, author of best-selling book Blue Like Jazz, has a great response to Robertson’s remarks. I want to encourage you to read his blog post entitled A Response to Pat Robertson’s Comments About Haiti.
We need to look at this disaster as yet another opportunity to show God’s love to hurting people. Please don’t use this as an opportunity to scrutinize and cast judgement on those in need.

Thank you for giving us the link to Donald Miller’s blog and his take on Pat Robertson’s comments.
I have now left a comment in Donald’s blog which I hope he will publish soon.

Hi Mick, Keep writin’, man. The Church has so much “written in by man” trappings that sometimes it is difficult to see the simple beauty of Christ and his love for us. It also hangs up a lot bogus ideas about who God is and how He works. Good to see a calm mind actively getting some licks in for the other side.
Doing my part too, dude. If interested, I’ll email you an Ecopy of my book “What God Can’t Do” (as in sin, break a promise, or even love you more than He already does
) in .doc or .pdf format. Like, free of charge too. Blessings, Jerry
