#God&039;s Righteous Judgment
Text
Love, Mercy, and Judgment
IT MIGHT SOUND STRANGE to hear the words love, mercy, and judgment in the same breath, but these three concepts are delicately interwoven and must be understood together. They are integral to understanding God’s response to sin. As Paul said, “…the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 6:23). Sin gives rise to God’s righteous judgment. In…

Who Is Running from God? (Jonah 1:1-17)
God said, “Go!”
Jonah said, “No!”
And, God said, “Oh!?”
The Lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai: “Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.”
But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from…

The Man in the Mirror...
The Man in the Mirror…
There is a famous poem by Dale Wimbrow called, ‘The Guy in the Glass” and there is a famous song by Michael Jackson called, “Man in the Mirror” both focused on the judgments we assign to ourselves. The reason both works are so important is because their messages point us back to things we think about ourselves, indeed the judgments we conclude as true about who we are. The problem with our…

Day 250
Romans 2:12-16
We concluded yesterday with Paul making this bold statement in verse 11, “For God does not show favoritism.” And now for the rest of this section of Romans and to take it even further for the entire rest of Romans Paul is going to be writing and operating with the understanding that “God does not show favoritism.” And Paul is now going to start to make the case for this…

One Way
Psalm 1: 5-6.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
There are only two ways: God’s way, and everything else. Our choice, then, is to follow Him completely or to walk the path of the ungodly. The way of God, the way of the righteous, is…

Jesus' Selfie
Jesus’ Selfie
When the Gentiles sin, they will be destroyed, even though they never had God’s written law. And the Jews, who do have God’s law, will be judged by that law when they fail to obey it. For merely listening to the law doesn’t make us right with God. It’s obeying the law that makes us right in his sight. Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they…

El Roi, The God Who Sees
El Roi, The God Who Sees
Have you ever felt like an outcast, or used for another’s profit or pleasure before being thrown out like an old rag? That is how Hagar felt when Sarai took matters into her own hands by arranging for Hagar to have a child with Abram (Genesis 16).
Where is God when rejection cuts deep? Where is the One who promises to work all things together for the good of those who love Him? Does He care? Does…

Living By Faith, Not Sight
Living By Faith, Not Sight
1 I will take my stand at my watchpost
and station myself on the tower,
and look out to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
2 And the Lord answered me:
“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;

Exercising in Righteous Judgment
Exercising in Righteous Judgment
Should a Christian be judgmental? We hear it all the time, “judge not that you be not judged.” As Christians, we are commanded to judge, but we are to be careful in the judgments we make with an understanding that “with what judgment you judge, you will be judged.”
It is in the nature and design of mankind to judge things all of the time. Not only is it impossible for us to refrain from making…

Day 249
Romans 2:1-11
Yesterday we dealt with God’s wrath against sinful humanity. And we learned that much of the problems, if you have not already figured it out, come from the fact that we are by our nature sinful. In other words, the problems in the world can be described as God’s judgement in the here and now as a result of our disobedience towards him. Now, today we are going to be…

Our Miraculous Sun
Steven Barto, B.S. Psy., M.A. Theology
“[The sun’s] rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat” (Psa. 19:6, ESV).
WHAT IS OUR SUN made of and what keeps it burning? How hot is it and will it ever burn out? What is the distance from Earth to the Sun? Gazing at the stars at night, it is exhilarating to see a shooting star…

Two Ways of Living: Blessed or Cursed
Distinguishing between the righteous and the wicked is not always as easy as it seems.
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wickedor stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law, day and night.That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in seasonand whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.

Strike Five and Six: Animals and Boils, Exodus 9:1-12
Strike Five and Six: Animals and Boils, Exodus 9:1-12
The word plague means ‘a blow, a stroke,’ and indicates that the hand of the Lord was punishing the Egyptians. The longer Pharaoh resisted God, the more serious the judgments became.” – Warren W. Wiersbe
While the first three plagues were unnerving (water to blood, frogs, gnats), the second three were wounding and costly (flies, death of livestock, boils).
You may read Exodus 9:1-12 here: Bible…
