1984 March/April issue Part 5

Weather

Everybody keeps saying “what strange weather we’ve been having.” I came upon a possible explanation- not from the meteorologist, but from- of all people- the prophet Jeremiah. “This people has a rebellious and definite heart, rebels they have been and now they are clear gone. They did not say to themselves, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives us the rains of autumn, and spring showers in their turn, who brings us unfailingly fixed seasons of harvest.’ But your wrongdoing has upset nature’s order, and your sins have kept you from her kindly order.” (Jeremiah 5:23-25)
Modern minds will admit no explanation for anything but the “scientific.” This is the dogma that replaces religious dogma. Thus we have no need anymore for the Living Word- it doesn’t apply in this, it doesn’t apply in that, it doesn’t apply at all- except where we need a little comfort, and you don’t find much of that in science.
