The Following is a copy&paste from a recent WhiteHorseMedia Newsletter:

As I write this, my heart is saddened by breaking news today of another strong earthquake rocking Haiti. As we all ponder the terrible destruction and loss of life, questions about God naturally arise. What is going on? Is He involved? Does He care? Is this another “sign” of a much larger, looming disaster?

First of all (as mentioned in a previous e-news), I want to stress that Jesus Christ plainly predicted that “great earthquakes” would strike planet Earth. “There shall be great earthquakes in various places” (Luke 21:11), declared the Master. Not only that, but such quakes will be one of many “signs” (verse 11), or footsteps, of an approaching God (verses 27, 28).

Second, yes, God does care about the inhabitants living on that suffering island nation. He sees, He feels, He knows. Angels weep as they see the awful devastation—especially upon the children—and I have no doubt that they are active at this exact moment assisting rescue, military, and medical workers help the needy. Miracle stories continue of survivors being rescued from the rubble. Thank the Lord.

But there is another dimension that it is appropriate to consider. The fact is that more than half of Haiti’s 9 million inhabitants practice Voodoo, Haiti’s dominant religion, and that some of the grossest forms of immorality are rampant. Significantly, much of Haiti’s dark Voodoo previously migrated to New Orleans—a city mostly destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

Recently, I read a stunning quotation from one of my favorite authors who I believe was guided by the Holy Spirit. Take note:

“I am bidden to declare the message that cities full of transgression, and sinful in the extreme, will be destroyed by earthquakes, by fire, by flood. All the world will be warned that there is a God who will display His authority as God. His unseen agencies will cause destruction, devastation, and death.” Evangelism, p. 27

Evidence indicates that Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, fits the category of a city “full of transgression, and sinful in the extreme.” On January 12, at 4:53 pm, it was virtually “destroyed” by an earthquake. On the morning of August 29, 2005, New Orleans experienced its own disaster from the sky. Now notice how Jesus Christ puts both earthquakes and sky events together as clear “signs” of His approaching return.

And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven… Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:11, 27, 28).

Yes, God is speaking to His world through these disasters. Whether He directly causes them, or merely allows them, nevertheless, they can be biblically classified as divine “judgments” to be taken seriously. No one knows how much longer God will continue to tolerate sin on planet Earth. Soon, “the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night” (2 Peter 3:10), and Jesus Christ will come suddenly to rescue those who have repented of their sins, have accepted His gospel, and become loyal to their Maker.

As we witness today’s solemn events, May God help us to hear His voice, and to get ready, get ready, get ready, for what is coming upon the earth.

Hey, if u wanna check it out: www.karshi.wordpress.com

So.. just what the topic said….

Gotta add tho… my favorite picture is the bicycle. That’s just… art:P been standing there since i came back from Spain.. and that’s “last year”… :p

I bought myself one of these milk with taste thingies today.

Now… if you are norwegian, you probably get it by looking at the pictures, but for those who don’t do norwegian, and needs transelation, here goes:

“How many times do you turn the carton? And how fast and how long do you keep on doing this? Are you sure you really don’t want a milkshake? Well, Litago Milkshake has finally arrived. So cool it’s recommended.”

Now, the last sentence is freely transelated. This is because it’s a norwegian wordplay.

Vanessa Carlton – Pretty baby

I hardly remember the text exept for the part where she sings ‘pretty baby’. So i sing that to matias when i hold him:P

I had my exams, and I thought when christmas comes I’ll make up for the neglected blogging. Turned out I was knoked out so that my head hasen’t come above the surface until now. So here you have some, to make up for my neglect: :)

2010, Two-thousand and ten, Twenty ten. Two zero one zero. It doesn’t look right to me… Sounds like science fiction… sounds like the future…

I guess i was born too long ago or something, back at elementary school i remember writing a text on where i though i would be in 2020, long story short, i have to come up with a way to get to the moon and start living there within 10 years… wish me luck!

Time is crazy… Feels like yesterday that we had the Y2K issue… everyone was freaking out, but nothing major happen… That is, my computer actually crashed (it was OLD), but after some prayer, i finally was able to boot into the BIOS and change the time back a few years; worked like a charm. And then 2001 is a year most of us feels like just happen. But somehow, here we are, 10 years later.

Anyway, I wish you all a happy new year, and hope it will be a good one for you and the people around you (Yeah, you have to be good too :p). I hope you all have some good new years resolutions :) Mine are 1366×768 and 2560×1024.
