Shaken
by PamFord Davis Earthquakes not only make headlines; they make me nervous. No, I am not obsessed; yet, I am alarmed. Recent earthquakes have resulted in massive destruction and deaths in great numbers. I have had earthquake survivors in my thoughts and in my prayers. Before hitting my keyboard for this article, I hit a search engine. *Seismic wave activity *Seismograph *Magnitude *The Richter scale I have not kept myself well informed in relation to earthquake shaking terminology; I am knowledgeable about an 'unshakable' kingdom "See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, 'YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN.' This expression, 'Yet once more,' denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:25-29 NAS)."
