    Our personal choices have consequences, some of them long-term. The choices groups or nations make also have consequences. Provoking God’s long-term discipline is a miserable experience, and sometimes the righteous have to experience it/w the unrighteous.

As I sat there and listened and took notes, I couldn’t help to think how we have somehow missed it when it comes to the purpose ...read more
