Unstrained mercy needs to be constrained by the same constraints that God himself recognizes: by wisdom, by justice, by the long-term, eternal good of the person you are trying to help.
Every week it seems like there’s another new disaster. Wasn’t Hurricane Katrina enough, without adding Hurricane Rita to it? We were all so overwhelmed by the magnitude of those twin crises that many of us probably didn’t even pay much attention to the fires in California. After all, they ...read more

Passage Read. Pray One day, three men were leaving their office to go on a lunch break. They somehow stumbled on a genie who offered them a wish each.

Scripture: James 1:5
The purpose of these judgments is: 1. To bring people to repentance. 2. To demonstrate the patience of God. 3. To establish God’s justice.
In the book of Revelation there are three major judgments that come to the earth. The first wave is called the seal judgments. They unfold as the Lamb breaks the seals of the scroll. As each seal is broken, it unleashes a new barrage of God’s judgment against an evil and Christ-rejecting world. ...read more
Scripture: Revelation 6:1-17

Scripture: Matthew 11:2-12
Punishment for wrongdoing is essential, but according to Hosea, punishment is not to meet the demands of justice but rather to restore the ones who have done the wrong.
Hosea Hosea's first three children had very unusual names. His family story was a metaphor for God's relationship with Israel. The Book of Hosea is addressed to the people of the northern kingdom — Israel. It contains both a warning concerning future events and the meaning of these ...read more
Scripture: John 3:16

Hey there, folks. I'm glad you could join us today. We're going to spend some time in the book of Amos today. Yeah, that's right, Amos. It's a little book tucked away in the Old Testament, but it's got a big message for us. Before we get into it, let's read the passage together. Amos 5:23-24 says, ...read more

Topics: God's Desire
God’s justice and faithfulness empower us to pray boldly, resist the enemy, and finish the year with steadfast faith and triumphant praise.
Friends, as we gather today, I sense a hush of holy expectation. The kind that settles the soul and steadies the heart. The year has been full of peaks and potholes, headlines and heartaches, but here we are—still held, still hearing the whisper of a faithful God. Some of us carry victories we ...read more
Scripture: Isaiah 34:8, Luke 21:22
Topics: Enemy Defeat, Judgment
The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.
In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

What kind of a retirement party was this? He had worked so long, he had struggled with so many things, and now, here, at the end, it seemed there was still unfinished business. His worries were not behind him, nor were all the issues settled. And why not? Had he no right to expect that now life ...read more
