It has been said that if you drop a frog into a bucket of boiling water, it will jump out with very little harm, but if you drop it in cold water, then heat the water gradually, it will stay in the water until it cooks.
    Unfortunately, many people are the same.  They see gradual changes in the world around them and ignore it and go on about their business as usual.  So sometimes, it becomes necessary to throw a bucket of boiling water on them to wake them up.  The 9-11 terrorist attack was such an event.  It awoke a few, but the majority made no real or lasting changes, specifically, few turned to God and decided it was time to let him run things.  Instead, we insist we can fix it.  So more buckets of boiling water will have to be thrown.  They may be in the form of natural disasters where many thousands will die rather than another terrorist attack, but they will occur in some form, unless we turn to God first so he can save us from Satan's games.
