Does God Hate Haiti?

With the recent disaster in Haiti come the inevitable questions of why. Christians wonder why God allows such things to happen, atheists often use such events as evidence against God, and then other public figures often add their own thoughts that simply confuse the whole problem even more. You may have heard the comments of Pat Robertson, host of The 700 Club, recently where he expressed his view that the earthquake was one of many judgements from God on the Haitian people for allegedly making a pact with the devil years ago to earn their freedom from France. Is this true? Is God judging the people of Haiti for sin or is the earthquake simply another sign that this world still suffers from the effects of the fall? Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, offers a very well-reasoned and thoughtful response. Please take a few moments and read his response HERE.

For His glory,
