Mohler Asks, "Does God Hate Haiti?"

In recent days, it's been hard not to hear about the devastating earthquakes bringing much destruction to the nation of Haiti. These events have brought many to question whether or not God hates Haiti. Albert Mohler answers this question, and in my opinion answers it well saying:

Does God hate Haiti? God hates sin, and will punish both individual sinners and nations. But that means that every individual and every nation will be found guilty when measured by the standard of God's perfect righteousness. God does hate sin, but if God merely hated Haiti, there would be no missionaries there; there would be no aid streaming to the nation; there would be no rescue efforts -- there would be no hope.
I think it would benefit you well to take the time and read the rest of this post; as it is powerful, convicting and very encouraging. To God be the glory in the midst of this horrible tragedy.

About Standing Firm

Standing Firm was created to be a source of theological truth in a world that is filled with philosophies and empty deceit. God's Word is filled with charges to those that are called by His name to stand firm and to not be conformed to this world. We must heed the charge of the Apostle Paul to the church in Rome: "I appeal to you therefore brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a spiritual sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:1-2).
