Rev. Murray's sermon was
called, "Looking for God".
There are some, Rev. Murray
said, who believe the year 2000
will be the end of the world as
people know it, that the computer
bug will cause a massive failure in
the electrical power grid, and in the
banking and financial sector. It
could mean that such a failure
could cause massive social unrest
and upheaval, and create such
anarchy that the fabric of society
could be irreparably harmed, he
said.
Predicting the end of the world
has been a regular business for
prophets for a long time. The
University of Toronto philosopher
Mark Kingwell says, "The second
coming of Christ has been
predicted for a number of years,

1523, 1588, 1656, 1666, 1789 and
1844." He says that real growth of
millennial fever has more to do
with inability to cope with rapid
social and technological change,
swift population growth and
industrialization, than with data
crunching mathematics. Rev.
Murray said, Jesus said there would
be wars and famines. "But is
looking for the signs of Christ's
coming the proper way to see if
Jesus' message is being fulfilled?"
Rev. Murray asked.
In every case when people
thought they had read the signs
right, they were disappointed.
"Perhaps we are looking in the
wrong places for signs of Christ's
transforming presence. If we
believe we can find God only at the
end of time, then we will have
missed the point of Jesus' message.
Yes there will be wars and dangers
but the good news is we pan
survive natural disaster and failures
of technological systems."
These things can't crush our faith.
None of these things has the power
to separate us from the love of
God,' says St. Paul. Put your faith
in God's power to care for us, even
in the worst of times."
