If God decides to chasten a nation because of their sins how should the church respond? We have to have a proper Holy Ghost view and not respond with or own zeal. The church must begin to plead to God to obtain mercy and grace. God judges sin in mercy and in His loving kindness will send forth His Spirit to renew the face of the earth. In these times of calamity, we as Christians must settle the issue, God is at work! The church of Jesus Christ shall prevail.
