natural disaster

On Monday, a 5-year-old boy was reportedly swept away by floodwaters brought on by a series of storms in California.

Northern California was struck by a magnitude 6.4 earthquake on Tuesday. The quake, which struck at 2:34 am PST, left two dead and 12 others injured.

Every year, the world is faced with a slew of natural disasters that, in many cases, claim the lives of hundreds. As Christians, these kinds of events can threaten to shake our faith.

These five Christian leaders offer some insight into how to view natural disasters from a biblical perspective. Hopefully, these quotes will strengthen your faith and encourage you that God is in control no matter what.
