Today's core message is this: you will all likewise perish.
Everything is within God's providence, and it is said that God protects those who repent. This protection does not mean that He makes them live safely with abundance, but rather that God ensures they do not perish. It means that He protects their lives, their bodies, and their souls from destruction.
It is dangerous to judge the events of this world from a narrow perspective. These are the works of God, and we believe that if we repent, we are in God's hands. Whether our lives are hitting rock bottom or on the rise, it doesn't matter as long as we are in His hands. The key is to repent.
Do not hastily judge others with our limited understanding and short-sighted knowledge. Instead, trust and accept God in all circumstances, always repenting. Never forget that every act of faith begins with repentance.
