Wallace Thompson: It is no surprise that in a time of crisis we worship in supermarkets, rather than in churches
The queues outside supermarkets on Sunday, the Lord’s Day, were a sad reflection of modern society.
Ulster has decided it can live without God.
People no longer attend church but now worship at the shrine of the god of materialism.
It’s therefore no great surprise that when faced with a crisis they are to be found in supermarkets on a Sunday in pursuit of yet more possessions which they hope will protect them from the coming storm.
Jesus would say to these people, ‘Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth’.
And when the storm comes we will need more than goods from a supermarket shelf.
‘It is time to seek the Lord’.
