Anything that contradicts the truth is a lieâbut, of course, to call something a âlieâ is to pass judgment. To call adultery or murder a sin is likewise to pass judgmentâbut itâs also to agree with God. When Jesus said not to judge others, He did not mean that no one can identify sin for what it is, based on Godâs definition of sin. And the Bibleâs command that we not judge others does not mean there should be no mechanism for dealing with sin. The Bible has a whole book entitled Judges. The judges in the Old Testament were raised up by God Himself (Judges 2:18). The modern judicial system, including its judges, is a necessary part of society.
Dust storms were the result of drought and land that had been overused. Drought first hit the country in 1930. By 1934, it had turned the Great Plains into a desert that came to be known as the Dust Bowl. In Oklahoma, the Panhandle area was hit hardest by the drought. The land of the southern plains, including Oklahoma, was originally covered with grasses that held the fine soil in place.
What happened to the soil during the dust bowl? During the Dust Bowl in the 1930s in the United States, there was a wide-spread drought in the Plains. No vegetation would grow, so the soil was left exposed. When a wind kickâ¦ed up, the soil was picked up and blown hundreds of miles away.
