Although Bro. Livingston has said in another sermon, “that we need to get out of the Old Testament.”. He treats this passage as if what God is saying, is directly to him and to the people of today.
Then he adds that “ God will allow extremists to fly planes into tall buildings and kill thousands, to get our attention and to warn us to repent.” Next he says that God will allow the shooting of small children in schools to get our attention, because God loves people and nations.”
I find this a startling statement. Surely no parent I know would wipe out some of his children just to get the attention of his other children. A God of love would not seem to solve problems in this manner.
I give Bro L. much credit for giving leadership in building this large congregation but in listening to several of his sermons I find many self contradictions either in his actual statements or in the logic of the way he puts his thoughts together. Yet to be a spokesman, as he is, for the CoG would seem to put a lot of responsibility on him to get things right.
No one seems to mind though, his listeners defend his every statement as the very word of God
