My Utmost for His Highest. "Lord, I will follow Thee; but . . ." Luke 9:61 Supposing God tells you to do something which is an enormous test to your common sense, what are you going to do? Hang back? If you get into the habit of doing a thing in the physical domain, you will do it every time until you break the habit determinedly; and the same is true spiritually. Read More...

The Answer For Evil. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. (Psalm 53:1) How it was that 60 million perished following the Bolshevik revolution? 'Men have forgotten God' - that's why all this happened. All attempts to find a way out of the plight of today's world are fruitless unless we redirect our consciousness, in repentance, to the Creator of all: Without this, no exit will be illumined, and we shall seek it in vain." - Alexander Solzhenitsyn 1. |

 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? Genesis. 18:25
I have used this Bible reference many times to show people that God is a just God and will without fail do what is right toward you and me. We know that God is a God of love, He has proven that at the cross, in His resurrection, and in many other ways. However, so often we fail to see that He is a just God as well. He is not just some divine friend, nor is He Santa Claus. Please understand this life is not a playground but a battleground. With emphasis I say to each of us don't worry God will do what is right by each of us. Allow me to point out some biblical truths as it relates to the justice of a loving God. May we allow these truths to speak to our hearts. He judged Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, read carefully what happened (Genesis Chapter 3). He judged Noah's day with a flood (Genesis 7:23). He judged Sodom and Gomorrah with fire (Genesis 19). He judged Egypt with some awful plagues (Exodus 3:20). How about Ananias and Sapphira for their lying (Acts 5:1-11). God will judge sin. If you are playing around and half-heartedly serving God, He will get your attention, He loves you that much. Will God judge Sodom & Gomorrah and others and not America? I don't think so. God help America to repent, the church to repent, we as individuals to repent, and let God do what He promised to do; "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." ( 2 Chronicles 7:14) Oh! God forgive us, touch us again, may we witness Your mighty glory again. In His Love, Pastor Durden |
