The Cost of Living?

The Cost Of Living.

You can’t have missed the fact that prices in the shops are rising relentlessly. The cost of oil and gas to heat our homes has rocketed, and petrol and diesel are at unprecedented levels. It will get worse. On Sat 2 Apr 2022, the Guardian carried a report that demonstrations and protests were taking place across England. Including one near Downing Street in central London where crowds gathered to hear speeches, including from former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Other protests took place in cities including Cardiff and Birmingham.

I can see more of these protests taking place as the price surges continue. And I can’t help wondering whether we shouldn’t see these price hikes, and the likely food shortages that will follow, not just as a result of incompetent government decisions on Covid measures and sanctions on Russia, but also as a judgement upon our land, for our rejection of our Creator, for our intentional murder of our unborn children, sacrificed on the altar of convenience and sexual promiscuity. For our flouting of God’s laws, in relation to marriage and sexuality. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time that has happened. Moses warned the OT Israel, in Deuteronomy 11:16-17 16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the Lord’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you. Well, to adapt a phrase quoted by the late Billy Graham, “If God doesn’t punish the UK, – with its legalised child sacrifices, and its immoral attitude to marriage – if God doesn’t judge this nation, he will have to apologise to Sodom and Gomorrah.”
