Sound Theology Takes a Load Off!

In a ‘Peanuts’ cartoon, Lucy and Linus are looking out the window at a steady downpour of rain.

‘Boy,’ said Lucy, ‘look at it rain. What if it floods the whole world?’

‘It will never do that,’ Linus replies confidently. ‘In the ninth chapter of Genesis, God promised Noah that it would never happen again, and the sign of the promise is the rainbow ‘

‘You’ve taken a great load off my mind,’ says Lucy with a relieved smile.

‘Sound theology,’ states Linus, ‘has a way of doing that!’
