Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 21, 2002

In Nahum, God says, "I am against you." We like to emphasize one of the verses of Nahum: "God is slow to anger..." but there is a limit to God’s patience. What happens when we continually turn our backs on God?

I think that would be a wonderful thing! But we see that the crowd rebukes them. This is like the people ...read more
