One Sunday morning Jesus appeared in all the churches. He showed up simultaneously on a million big screens. Some churches were in the middle of a song when his face popped up and the music went quiet, like someone had unplugged all the cords at the sound booth. Bands and singers across America stopped singing,Continue reading “I Dreamed That God Was Coming to Judge My Enemies. And I Was Happy! Amos 2:5.”

God is Patient, but He Will Judge the Guilty. Joel 3:18.
British comedian Stephen Fry was asked what he would say to God. “Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain? It’s utterly, utterly evil. Bone cancer in children? What’s that about? God is quite clearly a maniac, utter maniac.” The interviewer thenContinue reading “God is Patient, but He Will Judge the Guilty. Joel 3:18.”
JESUS IS LOVE AND WRATH. Revelation 19:11-20:12.
This picture generated with A.I. The Old Testament predicts the New.

Indeed, we call him “theContinue reading “INFANT LOWLY. Revelation 1:13-16.”
Do you imagine Jesus as a judge or as a forgiver? John 8:10-11.
Is Jesus Judge or Forgiver? He’s both. He is God. He will judge sin. But to His people He offers infinite grace. He said to the woman caught in adultery: “Where are your accusers? Does no one condemn you? Neither do I condemn you. [But don’t miss the next sentence]: Now go your way andContinue reading “Do you imagine Jesus as a judge or as a forgiver? John 8:10-11.”
WHO IS THE JUDGE? John 5:22-23.
A cliché says God the Father is a mean, angry judge, but Jesus, the Son, is merciful. FALSE. God is ONE—and Jesus Himself said, “I and the Father are one.” John 10:30. God is both holy and merciful. (Four of the five verses that follow are the spoken words of Jesus.) “The Father, in fact,Continue reading “WHO IS THE JUDGE? John 5:22-23.”
