With a hurricane hitting the coast of Florida as well as the aftermath of a hurricane in Puerto Rico, a typhoon in Alaska, and a 6.4 earthquake in Taiwan, September has been a busy month of natural disasters around the world.
It can be overwhelming to think about the inevitability of earthquakes and storms. There is possibly nothing more unsettling than natural disasters to remind us of our smallness compared to nature’s great power.
These five articles remind us to put creation into the perspective of God’s providence. As Douglas Estes’s 2018 article states, “We grieve over the devastation wrought by storms … we do [what] we all can to help storm victims in Christ’s name, yet we still acknowledge even in our grief that ‘his way is in the whirlwind and the storm’ (Nahum 1:3).”

Important Note from CT’s President and CEO
Dear CT Reader,
When the brokenness of our world seems endless, more than ever, people need to see the kingdom come.
Christianity Today exists to tell the stories and ideas of the kingdom of God. To make visible the good news that Jesus is still at work today transforming lives and bringing glory to himself.
But we can’t do this without you. Will you give a year-end gift to ensure the stories and ideas of the kingdom of God are made known in a world that is desperate for the hope we have in Christ? Now through December 31, your gift will be doubled, thanks to generous ministry partners.
You can help make the kingdom visible. Give your tax-deductible gift by December 31.
While we pray for peace, we need moral clarity about this war.
A decade later, I became a Christian.
The year brought news of revival and tragedy, with ongoing coverage of denominational divides and allegations of abuse in ministry.
