Emphasis Preaching Journal

As in the "earthquake" narrative of Paul and Silas in Acts 16, God often uses natural events in a most unnatural way. Some seminary professors often take great care to explain to students that a narrow part of the "Reed" (not "Red") Sea was used by Moses in the great crossing, and that the phenomenon of the parting waters was caused by the fierce winds which sometimes swept the area. Others refer to the "burning bush" as a natural occurrence caused by St. Elmo's fire (atmospheric electricity).
