Russell Moore’s reflections on the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is a must-read. He writes:
“I always feared seeing my hometown turn into Armageddon, and five years ago, sure enough, that’s just what happened.

“I outgrew the dispensationalism (while holding onto the gospel underneath it all), but I still lived to see my hometown face an apocalypse. And rather than watching it all helplessly from a cloud in heaven, I had to watch it all, even more helplessly, on CNN.”
