Our Speaker during Family Bible Hour was Mr Charlie Fizer from Iowa. He is shown in the pictures with his wife, Darlene. His message was an attempt to answer the following: 1. Why are there natural disasters? 2. Does God have anything to do with natural disasters? 3. Are natural disasters judgements from God? 4. Are the people who live in areas of the world that suffer these disasters worse sinners than those who live elsewhere? Matthew 24: 1-8 was used to answer the questions, alongwith other Bible passages: ... And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

A DVD of the excellent message, in full and in context, is available.
