China's disasters

China is still reeling from the effects of the torrential rain which has caused the breaking of their levees. Four thousand two hundred were evacuated. Now they are bracing for the typhoon which visited the Philippines. It could worsen their flooding.

China is one of the countries most visited by natural disaster.

It is sad that most Chinese disparaged religion and religious practitioners. They are are mostly atheists. http://atheism.about.com/library/world/AJ/bl_ChinaIndex.htm

Majority of the Filipino families want their children educated in a Catholic school, not only are the children trained academically but spiritually as well.
The Catholic Church wants to impress on the families that it’s not only the school’s responsibility on training their children spiritually. The parents should share in the responsibility.

No matter how good the training is spiritually, once the child is in his teens (high school and college) some tend to veer away from the spiritual teaching, that is, if their spiritual foundation is shaky. Believing in the saying “to see is to believe” (science). So, since God cannot be seen, they don’t believe Him.

These refers to inanimate things or mortals, but with God, how can you see Him when He is a spirit. In the second testament, Jesus was sent by the Father to save. Some did not believe Him, what more now that He is a spirit.

In the second coming of Jesus, you will be condemned if you don’t believe before His coming. Several messages were sent by our Lord Jesus and Mama Mary through the prophets. Some believe, but unfortunately others want proof.

Below are the scriptures on believing even without seeing God.

Mark 16:18
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,
but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

John 20:29
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.

The consequence of not believing is terrifying. I would like to refer the non-believers to my posting of July 2 on “Alas for him who did not fear me”, particularly the following messages:

I have created you for one purpose: I have created you out of Love to love Me; when body and flesh are going to be consumed and wear out, he who was pleasing to Me shall be drawn into My Soul for ever and ever;
alas for the heart who believed that he could reach the zenith of his strength by his own efforts and without Me!
alas for him who has not obeyed My Commandments! alas for him whose heart is filled with malice!

alas for those who shed innocent blood of unborn infants! your compensation shall be hell!
