This brief article is written more in a "devotional style:" pithy and punchy. A casual comment from a family member prompted me to wonder whether or not God still levies out rain (or withholds it) in judgment in our time(?). If I had to guess, I'd say "yes." I think he still uses rain to get our attention, and the Scriptures may suggest that. As brief as this little article is, it is significant for the points it makes. You can draw your own opinion.
